| Description of the problem | Starting in september of 2013 on our mercury milan the right tail light was blinking like a strobe light when the headlights where on. ( tail light on, brake light flashing) this lasted for a few weeks then seemed to disappear, starting a few weeks ago the blinking returned on the right side followed by the left side. Currently the right side is non useable (tail light and brake light are both on all the time) left side stopped working completely this last problem has progressed quickly it all stopped working in just a few days. I went to the dealership to get it fixed they told me it was going to be about 1000. 00 to fix the two tail lights. *js |
