larryl Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 My 09 RT has had no back up lights for a month or so and I finally got it into the dealer to look at is as there was no power to either socket. As it turns out 3 wires had snapped in half inside the wire harness that runs from the inside to the tailgate through a hole in the roof and tailgate. The dealer said that the opening and closing repetition of the tailgate had caused the wires to snap. Here is the best part-the harness is around $400.00 and it took almost 2hrs to install it for which Chrysler only allowed 20 minutes!!! Thankfully I have the extended warranty and they said I was the 1st that they had seen with this problem. The harness holds the wires for every part requiring power in the tailgate so lots could fail when wires start to snap after so many open & closings A real bad design or cheap wiring has to be the real issue.
