Rear driver side running light flickering

[GregoireVT]

Anyone seen this one before??? Rear light will flicker pretty much non-stop.... goes through spells where it’s fine but then starts back in

Looks like either a weak wire connection, or maybe a failing LED driver.

The LED module is replaceable just like a regular bulb -- unplug it, then twist to remove. You can swap the LED module to the opposite side (Left to Right, and Right to Left) to see if the problem is in the module or the wiring. When you unplug the module, you need to pull the red tab out first, then unplug like any other connector.

Or……..
you can take it to the dealer, and tell him to fix it under warranty.

Going to read my warranty fine print.

Many times “bulbs” are not covered - considered a “consumable”.

Hopefully a LED Module would be covered under 3/36 or Extended Warranty though.

Mine "Failed" last winter, they said "weird", ordered the bulb, 3 weeks later when I went in for them to change it, it was working it again. Dealer changed it anyway under 3y/60k km warranty.

Same one, Driver side rear LED, was doing the exact same thing after I noticed it was out. On, off, or flickering. Was really wet weather when it was acting up. Was dry when it came back on stable, so I suspect it was a short in the connection or bulb caused by water/humidity ingress.

No problems since.
