Rear/Brake Light Help (again)...

[Michelle]

I've been getting the rear and brake light warnings for a few weeks. I know the bulb isn't burnt out...that it is the prongs in the green housing piece. I tried to adjust the prongs, but it didn't work.

Any ideas? Do you think replacing that green housing piece will work? I really don't want to pay the dealer to fix it.

Pull the bulb and housing and file the connections. The corrosion that builds up will give you hell. But obviously check to make sure the bulbs are in fact not blown. If not, then file it. or sand it..

I put WD40 around the white housing (the metal parts) and it works.

I had the same problem, I fixed it yesterday.

When I put it back in it didnt work at first then I hit the brake light several times and now it is working.

Thanks.

BTW...I did buy new bulbs and changed them...just incase...so that's not the problem.

UPDATE:

I picked up all new light sockets from the dealer on the 30th. I replaced them and everything has been working perfectly ever since!!

What did they charge you for the sockets?
I have a loose socket. So i may need to change it out..

Michelle, when you changed the sockets. Did you replace the upper and lower set? or just one.. I have a lower black socket and an upper orange, i think its orange. I replaced the lower black. And still no luck..
