I have an odd problem with the left rear lights intermittently stopping working for the stop light mostly and now the blinker.

About 6 months ago the brake light stopped working. I thought it was time for a new bulb but the dealer (timing coincided with a service) want over $600. I got an auto electrician in and the bulb was fine but he cleaned the connection in the multi pin box (I don’t know what it’s called) and all was good.

Then the other day the LH rear blinker stopped working and threw up a dash message. I took it to a local mechanic and they changed the bulb, everything was working fine - I checked - then some hours later the blinker again stopped working and the brake light stopped working with both throwing up the messages.

Due for rego in a few weeks.

Anyone else experienced this?

In the meantime I’ll go hunting for the auto electrician’s card.
