| Description of the problem | Both led taillight on my 2010 mercury milan do not work. I am told that because it is a sealed unit and that it may not be the bulbs, it could be the control module in the lenses. I thought that going to led lights they were to last longer that the old system and should have lasted for the life of the car. This is a safety issue that should be address. Why would both go out at the same time. Note the third brake light works and i am told is on the same fuse as the taillights. The cost to replace these is around $400. 00 each and the only place to get it is a ford dealer. |
