    ALL bulbs replaced, but warning light persists.

    Hello all,

    I've replaced every bulb in my tail light assembly, but the lower portions of my tail lights shown in the picture below are still not functioning at all. I believe there may be a sensor I need to replace at this point? I'd appreciate any help you can offer me. Thanks! Also, sorry for the huge picture

    Is it kicking back a code? If there's a warning light, there should be a fault code.

    I'll get the codes tested. Thanks.

    I would also try bending the posts where the light connects inward to make a tighter connection. I had this problem several months ago and had it fixed by simply making sure contacts were clean and bending the posts in.

    I've heard that driving around with a bulb fault for an unknown period might mess with the controller. Never had any issues myself, though.
