Description of the problem	My 2007 outback wagon tailgate lights, lock failed to work. Some of the wiring within the flexible rubber conduit broke and shorted out the fuse. The wires could not endure the repeated motion of the tailgate movement. I have now learned that several others have had the same issue. The upper brake light, reverse lights, tailgate lock are affected. I believe the rear wiper motor wiring is in the same harness. A previous owner made a repair of one wire as seen in the photo. Repair did not hold up. Subaru should correct the condition at no charge.
