Default Ugh, yet another problem with Natalie...

Well, here goes my pr0 slainin skillz lol

My friend noticed that when i press the brakes sometimes either 1 or both sides of brake lights -one side goes out.

Like this... I don't have an SD card reader with me, so I'll post a video later.

I'll just use paint for a quick explanation...




Yeah. The lines around the light is for the bright effect. I have plenty of paint skill I just made this really fast haha.

Umm... Any ideas what's shorting out? or a fuse or something?

Haha.... Those paint pics are awesome!

I'd pull the maintenance cover off of the backside of each assembly (plastic cover in hatch area) and pop the bulb holder out (big white thing that holds the bulbs for that particular assembly). You'll notice that the there are little ring terminals that are screwed down into the plastic that act as the ground for the tail lights. Unscrew them and clean up the connection there so that there is no corrosion between the screw and terminal. That will likely fix your issue, as corrosion is very common on the tail lights.

I haven't yet. Too much on my shoulders atm, I'll try to have it out by Wednesday though..

Haha, umm... Well I just installed a switch for that antenna, it's the same switch that Dominic used on his rx7 in Fast and the Furious lol. It's pretty cool

It looks like this --->>
