David Lake Posted March 25, 2023 Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 Hey guys hope everybody's having a great 2023. I have a 2016 crossroad. And I just dropped my wife off somewhere this evening and she said as I drove away the driver side tail lights were out both sections, but the brake light was working fine. So I did a quick look when I got home in the driveway and sure enough both sections of the driver side tail light do not illuminate but the brake light portion works. Is that faulty tail light assemblies or a wiring issue? I find it strange that both sections have died at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryl Posted March 25, 2023 Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 If they are the ones in the hatchback it could be the wires breaking in the harness running from the body to the hatch. Did you check for power at the light? 2late4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Lake Posted March 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 I have not checked for power at the light yet, I will do that. Since the brake lights work in both housings, which should have much less use, the wiring might be the culprit. Will report back. Thanks for the input.

David Lake Posted March 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2023 So it looks like it's a wiring or connectivity issue. I went back to check it out and with my running lights turned on (headlights and tail lights). I was occasionally getting a flicker out of both of the round LED light assemblies on the driver side rear. I opened and closed the trunk to see if that had any effect and it didn't seem to matter. So it sounds like a loose wire somewhere. it's probably more than I want to fight with. I have a good reasonably priced mechanic and I'll have him take care of it larryl and 2late4u 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
