Function And Typical Faults

It Is Either Bulb-Based Or Uses An Integrated LED Module Depending On The Version.

Mechanical Damage From Loading Or Closing The Rear Doors Can Also Cause Failure.
Replacement Guide
Basic Replacement Steps (General Guidance For Experienced Technicians):
- Open Rear Double Doors And Remove Interior Trim Panel To Access The Lamp Assembly.
- Unscrew Fasteners Securing The Lamp (Keep Fasteners For Reuse If Undamaged).
- Disconnect The Electrical Connector Carefully And Remove The Old Unit.
- Fit The Replacement Lamp, Reconnect The Connector And Secure Fasteners Evenly Without Overtightening.
- Test Brake Light Operation By Depressing The Brake Pedal (Use A Helper Or Apply The Parking Brake With Engine Off).
- Refit Interior Trim And Check Seals To Ensure Water Tightness.
Installation Recommendations
- Disconnect The Battery Before Working On Vehicle Electrics To Prevent Short Circuits.
- Inspect And Replace Any Damaged Gaskets Or Sealant To Prevent Future Water Ingress.
- Use Dielectric Grease On Connectors To Reduce Corrosion Risk.
- Replace Bulbs With The Correct OEM Type If The Unit Is Bulb-Based; Consult Vehicle Manual For Bulb Specification.
- Check Mounting Tabs And Surrounding Panel For Deformation; Repair Any Damage To Ensure Proper Fit And Sealing.
Why The Part Most Commonly Fails
Failures Are Usually Caused By Water Ingress Leading To Corroded Contacts Or Bulb Holders, Physical Damage To The Lens Or Mounting Points During Loading/Unloading, And Electrical Connector Oxidation From Long-Term Exposure. In Some Cases, Internal LED Modules Age Or Develop Thermal Stress Cracks. Because The Unit Sits On The Rear Doors, It Is Exposed To Road Spray And Moisture, Making Seal Integrity The Most Common Failure Point.
