Rear running/brake lights failing
Written by Ron_Anders on 7/7/2011 at 03:25 am

UPDATE:
After lots of troublshooting and taking into consideration that I changed the
R/R last fall, I read thru these post's and...well...went back to the R/R.
Turns out that was the problem it seems. I was lucky enough to find one in a
junkyard nearby and was made by Honda and thats the fix. So...back on the road
and heading down to Deals Gap first thing in the morning....with all systems a
go!

Thanks for the help...
