Tail light issue

lkc001 · July 2020

When doing my pretrip inspection this weekend my left tail light had 3 LEDs that weren't lit up but the rest of the LEDs in the light were OK. I thought I was going to be replacing a tail light. When checking at the campsite they were all on & functioning properly. Any ideas on what's causing this & what I can check for? I have not opened up the tail light housing.

Only a guess,
intermittent electrical contact to 3-LED inside the tail light housing. Those light could be flashing on/off while driving.

Believe the tail light assembly is a sealed unit . . . no owner access to the inside LED circuit board. You'd have to cut it apart to attempt a DIY fix.

Or just replace the entire tail light unit.

Typically, if a few LED’s go out, the rest will follow soon. @Denny16’s advice to replace the light is good advice.
