   Tail Lights replacement fun.   
   15 Oct 12 12:21:41   
   
   This past weekend, I needed to replace several bulbs that were not working on   
   the Durango.  I had one headlight out, one lift-gate light out, no reverse   
   lights, and one side with no brake lights.   
      
   The headlight and lift-gate lights were replaced with no trouble.  It turns   
   out the other two (brake light and reverse lights) issue were not light bulb   
   related.   
      
   After doing lots of troubleshooting and reading stuff on AllData, I decided to   
   try swapping the passenger tail light (the entire unit) and try it on the   
   driver's side.  Presto - the brake light was then working.  Turns out, the   
   circuit board in the tail light housing itself is bad.  No problem - $25 on   
   Ebay for a replacement on the way.   
      
   The reverse lights not working was not a buld, fuse, or relay.  It seems to be   
   a sensor in the transmission ($15 part - but a major headache to replace).  I   
   have decided to just leave that not working as it isn't worth dropping the pan   
   and value body in the transmission to replace that part.     
      
   At least I won't get pulled over now - with all the driving related lights   
   working.
