So tonight driving to storage for the winter I have no running lights in the rear. Only the passenger side rear brake and turn work. Drivers side rear does not work at all. However, the running lights on the drivers side that previously would blink once in a while or just freeze worked just fine.
Also called Newell to source the flashers up front because no auto stores in town can figure them out and got no help there as well. Parts looked at the pics and just said they don't carry it anymore and had no suggestions for replacements. I talked to service (mind you this was before things changed this evening) and their idea was that I should make sure that I had no burnt out bulbs anywhere because since they are wired together that could cause less amps to flow to the back which would cause issues.
Good thing it's in storage now cuz I don't have clue where to go with these electrical issues.
