Hi everyone,

Hope this is the correct place to post. New here, so forgive the error if it's the wrong place.

I have a 2002 RR 4.6 and I've just gotten the "LH Rear Bulb Failure" message (I think that's the one...trying to recall). Anyway, I started to replace the brake light bulb when I noticed that upon removal of the brake bulb the "Park" bulb (middle one) suddenly started to work. After inserting the new brake bulb, it ("Park" bulb) stopped working again.

Any ideas on what's the problem, and more importantly, how to fix it? Sounds like I might need a new unit back there...but don't want to go that route yet.

She won't pass inspection without it, so your combined knowledge is most appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Mike

Are you talking about the holder that has all the bulbs for your rear quarter panel.
They are known to fail, usually from a build up on the contacts, clean them all and see if it help.

Thanks Disco Mike...

That's precisely what I'm talking about. I'll get out there with some alcohol swabs and see how that goes.
