Re: Traction Control out
Well I seem to have cured the traction control light, since both tail lights where out and with what a few had said on the forums here that their could very well be corrosion on the circuit board. I took the drivers side out and as I knew before the brake light socket gets HOT and melts and allows the 1 connection to melt plastic in the socket and to oxidise the one wire on the bulb. I actually took all the sockets out and checked everything inside, all clean, cleaned the contact best I could and cleaned the bulb up also. Ok that side now works, took the other side out and swapped the bulbs top to bottom, I really don't know why they are the same bulbs other than to allow you to swap them out like I did and as the top one only uses half the bulb, there are no contacts in the socket for the other half. Put it back together as it was now working and low and behold no more traction control light.
Now my question is, has anyone tried LED lights in there? Do they draw less current? If they do then less heat in them when sitting at a light waiting for it to turn.
