Description of the problem | The right rear tail light is inoperable intermittently. I changed the tail light bulbs twice and it is still inoperable intermittently. There is no corrosion or burn marks on the socket. It was first brought to my attention when i was pulled over for a traffic stop due to the tail light being out. The police officer told me it is a safety issue as others cannot see me. When i got back home and asked my spouse to come out and look at it it was working again (15 minute span of time). It is not a fuse as all other items on this circuit are operable. It will be out and 30 minutes later it is working. |
