My tail lights burned out a couple days ago and after I replaced one I realized that the other burned in the socket so I had to get a whole new socket. After fixing bulbs, my brake pedal is not registering to my push start so I have to override start it and my brake lights don’t work when I press brake. Another thing that I’m confused about is my traction control light came on and hasn’t gone off. I’ve replaced bulbs checked fuses and replaced the brake light switch but still not working. Has anyone had these issues before?

Hello,

It sounds like you popped a fuse. lets start by checking the fuses. here is a guide to help you with that and the fuse location and brake and tail light wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works below:

Use the wiring diagrams to see which fuses you should be checking for power. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.
