    Thumbs up Fixed!!!

    Special thanks to Master Jedi Tom4Bren!!!

    It turned out to be both a burned/blown brake light bulb AND a blown trailer wiring adapter! I tried regrounding it to no avail. Then removed one wire, and fixed! (It was hot too!).
    So I pulled the adapter out. I'll replace it later.

    Thanks again!

    Funny, I noticed one of my tail lights was acting up when I left Friday night from work. Luckily, I decided to take a walk around my VX while it was idling in the parking a lot at work before I left while I finished a smoke. I noticed my passenger side tail light was "fluttering". Just the parking light. When the brake was pressed, it was solid.

    Now, I had done a complete light modification many years ago which meant cracking open the light, tinting the inner assembly (smoked) and putting LED bulbs in. This issue is quite new and from the looks of it, one of the LEDs is starting to give up the ghost or I have a short. Time to pry through and see what the gremlins have done....
