Default I need Taillight solutions
I’ve been experiencing taillight shortage. I’m not sure What can be the cause of it. I’ve reorder and extra taillights housing but that problem seems to still happen. Now I’m wondering if it’s the wiring for the taillight. I’m just trying to see if anyone has experienced this issue and what did you do to resolve it. Thanks

Common problem. If replacing the housing did not fix it, it is likely the connector needs to be replaced.

There have been numerous write ups for tail light issues usually related to bad ground connections. Search for "tail light ground issues" and most of the solutions should be listed.

Yeah, I had that last year. A new pin helped fix it.

Run a ground wire from the interior ground plane to the ground wire inside the rear quarter panel area just aft of the Bose Amp and Battery. Easy fix.
