Tail Light Issues... Please Help!

[Jeph]

Sounds like a short somewhere. Closely inspect the connectors, and the bulb carriers for any scratches, gaps, or things of that nature that would prevent a circuit from closing. Maybe even the fuses.

I have the same problem.

who deambered the tail lights in his 986 and who has the old parts around for sale. Unfortunately, I've sold both mine but there must be others out there with the electrical boards just sitting in the old lights in their garages.

But first I'd go through the fuses, connectors, and even the traces on the board to see if there is anything obviously wrong that can be fixed using the parts you have.

after buying a new assembly housing and testing the bulbs....... it turned out to be as simple as a blown fuse... arg!

now i have a front headlight out. i switched the low-beam bulbs to make sure it wasn't the actual bulb... the bulb is fine... i tested the fuse... fuse is fine... the turn signal, foglight and high-beam work within the headlight... i have no idea what's going on now!

It ended up being a blown fuse on mine too.
