Hello All.
I had my driver side blinker light put in a couple weeks ago and now that and my brake light are out. I replace the brake light this summer.
What are easy things that even a car idiot could check. My car guy is checking it on Thursday but I would like to see if it's expensive or not.
All other lights are fine.
Thanks for all your help, I appreciate it.
Al

 

Could be as simple as the wrong bulb was installed. Your 2009 has 3157 in the front signal and 3057 in the rear brake light. You need to check the ground wires also.

 

You can also inspect the fuses push them all into place firmly, here’s a map of what fuse is where

Thanks. I have my guy looking at it. I gave him the fuse box info.
I appreciate it. I will let you know what he found.
Thanks Al

 

my guy figured it out and fixed it for $125.00. The wires in the back blinker and brake light were burnt in the rear bumper.

 

The brake light is the same as the turn light, the same filament. If one is out so is the other, or a switch is bad.
If it was a bad ground the tail light would also be out, they all share the same ground.t
The 3 functions are in the same bulb, the brake and turn are one filament and the tail light is the other.

Did you replace the bulb or did somebody else? Did whoever look at the contacts in the receptacle? Was the bulb firmly seated? Was there corrosion on them?
Do you know that DRL is head lights only, no tail lights?

 

Glad he found the problem and fixed the harness.

 

Did he fix whatever caused the burning?

 

That’s the burning question!

 

I dont remember what caused the burning. I am thinking the ground but not sure. Next time I see him I can ask him.
