rear taillights error light

[makethemusic72]

Hey guys, I started up my car today and i drove like a quarter mile when i realized that the error light came on saying my taillights are not working. I pulled over, and looked, but they are, just fine. stopped my car and started it again, and it solved the problem. A couple miles later, it through the same code. any ideas?

one of the filiments in your bulb is out have some one push the brake pedal while your behind the car ive had the same problem the running lights will still work but the dashlight is activated when you push the brake because that part of the bulb is out

Its weird though, because I had someone push the brakes, and the brake lights work fine, not a single one is burned out. the light just comes on randomly. I'll keep an eye on it, D, how did you fix your problem?

thanks, Tyler

i had the same problem darn light would come on and off checked my tails and they were working 2 days later it stayed on checked my tails again and 1 of the bulbs was out... i suggest u to take the bulbs out of both taillights and inspect it. i could have gotten lose too. on my friends maxima the bulb came lose and fell inside.

I just replaced the bulbs it was only like 10 bucks and it is easy to do

Same thing happened to me on a trip to vegas. Checked the tail lights everyday the whole trip both were working and the tail light indicator would come on periodically. Then a few days after I came back the light came on again, my right tail light was out. Just check the bulbs for the next few days.

ive had mine on for about a month (consistantly)... nothing yet. Just checked them tonight and they are fine.. should I expect one to go out or could there maybe be a loose connection (not registering totally but in working condition)
