Hello everybody,

Yesterday I got my car back from a painting company-I had them re-paint a couple of parts to get rid of scratches. It looks beautiful, but the rear right light indicator and right brake lamp is not operating now. I assume when they put the parts back they made some wiring mistake.
I would normally bring it back to have them fix their mistake, but the company is only working weekdays when I have trouble to bring the car to them and leave it there and then again go there to pick it up. My question is, given that i am an IT engineer I assume I can fix this problem if I know where and what to look at- can please somebody give me something like a service manual or some instructions on how to get to the wires and what to look at?
many thanks in advance

 

Hopefully it's just the wiring harness isn't connected or is just loose.

Pop your trunk, remove the trunk liner and you'll see all the wires going to the tail lights. Compare to the working one for convenience, with common sense you should be able to see what's wrong. Good luck

 

samething happened to me, the break light wont light up, man just plug tight. Take me 10 sec to fix.

 

I assume there were no previous accidents that could have cut or grounded any wiring...so I'd assume it's purely the fact that they were too hasty to finish your car that they forgot to plug something up.

 

They probably didn't plug the harness back in, or all the way. Should be an easy fix.
