One tail light bulb not flashing

wraitherx · October 13th, 2009, 12:32 AM

best thing would be to trace everything back to the computer. Thats what I had to do with my #6 COP as there was a break in the wire.

honestly just check every possible thing that you can. check everything in the vicinity of the area, grounds, connections, etc. then just check all the way back.

Hmm... it seems that the wires leave the trunk and go under the car right above the gas tank. Gonna be a PITA to trace that wire back to the ECU if I have to.

Gonna try and get out there to check the wire tomorrow. Been so freaking busy.

those wires should be for the fuel pump. I dont recall the wires tracing underneath the car. I will check mine tomorrow and try to get you some pictures of tracing the wire back.

wraitherx · October 13th, 2009, 01:01 AM

hmmmm now that I think about it. did you double check to make sure nothing was in the way of anything when you put your interior back together when you did your dynamat? it was you and not someone else, right?

Zatrekaz · October 13th, 2009, 01:01 AM

I remeber there was a large set of wires coming up from the passenger side through a odd rubber grommet, they split off and one went to each taillight's connector. I will double check it tomorrow as well.

That was someone else. I had my interior taken all apart back in March when I repainted everything... but that was in March

<--------- fail horribly

ill try to get something up for you tomorrow as im certain that it doesnt run under the car

Zatrekaz · October 13th, 2009, 01:11 AM

Thanks man, your the best. Don't know what all us electronic idiots would do without you.

I can tell you how to fix a computer all day long... but I get lost with the car's electronics somehow.

wraitherx · October 13th, 2009, 01:23 AM

no problem bro, thats what im here for to share the knowledge. nothing worse then an enthusiast who is greedy with his/her knowledge.

Zatrekaz · October 14th, 2009, 11:58 PM

So... out of the blue today the bulb is working. I'm not touching it until is messes up again.

wraitherx · October 15th, 2009, 12:06 AM

, that just tells me that there is either a break, something clipped it causing it to ground out, or loose connection at the bulb. was there anything that you did that you think may have caused it to start working?

Zatrekaz · October 15th, 2009, 02:20 AM

Not that I can think of... I simply got in the car this morning and went to class and noticed the indicator on the cluster was not blinking fast.

I reinstalled my subs the other day, but I simply have them resting on my rear seat delete... never got near the trunk. The amp has always been hooked up, just had the box out.

hmm... nope can't think of anything.

Zatrekaz · October 19th, 2009, 01:50 PM

And its not working again...

Didn't do anything to make it start/stop... looks like im gonna have to trace this wire.
