Default Tail light problem

My Brake/turn signal on the passanger side is acting up. When i start my car it works fine. After driving a while my cluster gives me a warning saying the brake light and turn signal is out. what does the code below mean. do i need a new tail light. If it is the led bulbs in the tail light then the whole tail light needs to be replaced i believe.

Default You either have a bad tail light or a bad connection between

your Central Convenience module and the tail light.

IS THIS A MATTER THAT ONLY THE DEALER CAN FIX OR CAN I BRING THIS TO A LOCAL SHOP TO FIX

Default It's gonna be a b*tch unless

it's actually acting up at the time someone is looking for the problem.

OTOH, If the condition exists at the time someone is trouble shooting it, it should be pretty straightforward for anyone with an understanding of auto electrical systems,a set of wiring diagrams, and a meter.

Since I'd expect a 2006 A6 would still be under warranty, I would let the dealer deal with it.

Default My interesting experience regarding bad tail lights

My driver's side tail brake light was acting up intermittently, so I asked the dealership to check it at my last maintenance interval. They "fixed" the problem but it came back after a few days. So I decided to take the light assembly off & re-arranged the bulbs inside the assembly. Surprisingly, the problem never came back. After about a month of trouble-free tail lights, I put the bulbs back in their original sockets. It's been 3 months and still no problem at all. Go figure.
