Help!!!!
My passenger side tail lamp has intermittently decided it does not want to blink. This has occurred 2 separate times now and this has occurred with 2 separate tail lamps as I have had the passenger lamp replaced for the moisture issue. I noticed it on the way home. It also affects the brake light on the passenger side. But here is the weird part. If I turn the passenger side turn signal off and wait a second, then apply the brakes the brake light will come on, but then if I put the turn signal on again with the brake light, it won't work. I noticed this issue on the way home from the car wash. I am pretty sure the last time it happened I had just left the car wash also.

Any electrical modifications? If so, start by removing them. If not, check the electrical connectors in the rear bumper area for moisture intrusion.

Someone made a post about a similar issue in a Facebook group yesterday. He stated that the passenger taillight was going out and after taking it to the dealership the tech found a bad module somewhere on the truck. I’ll try to find it.

Possible module? My high beams weren't working last week and I took er in. Tech found headlamp control module not plugged in all the way. Good luck. Hope it's simple, like me.
