It was under CPO so I took it in and they replaced the taillight wiring harness.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I posted this on a different forum but never really got an answer. The right reverse light is not working. I switched bulbs right to left and still the same problem. So I know it is not the bulb. I pulled the tail light out again. This time I pulled out all the metal tabs to make sure that they were making contact, notta. When I pushed on the back part (black rubber) of the light assemble the light turned on. When I released the black it turned off again. Is there a way that I can pull off the black part or do I just order a new assembly and splice it? Do I just pull off the black rubber and try to seal it again? Here is the picture of the assemble. I know it is not the best picture. download.jpg

POST 2Original post

Is the right reverse light on a different fuse than the left? Often they are.

POST 3Original post

Can you test with a meter and determine if the contacts are providing current? I would test two spots, the socket and the plug connection.

POST 4Original post

I had the exact same problem. The light would come on if I pressed on the back of the boot. It was under CPO so I took it in and they replaced the taillight wiring harness. They showed me what had happened and a solder joint had broken under the rubber boot. They had just pulled the boot back to show me. You could easily repair it by resoldering and then putting the boot back in place. Maybe seal it with liquid electrical tape. A new wiring harness is about $150 if I remember correctly.

liquid electrical tape.. Hmm sounds good. That's what I was worried about resealing the boot. Thanks
