- 1996 Eddie Bauer AWD V8
On my 1996 Eddie Bauer Explorer I have apparently been driving around without brake lights. I was diagnosing the truck the other day, I found that I got no power to both of the tail lights, but that the running lights did work. So since the CHMSL worked, I excluded the fuses, switch, and a majority of the wiring fro being the issue. I narrowed it down to the Lamp Outage module, which is found in my truck, because I have the Message Center, or a common splice that the lights share. I know where the LOM is, I have yet to take it out and inspect it, but just in case it is not the problem, where is the splice at for the rear brake lights?
Hopefully I can just solder the connection, and be good to go. BTW, I do not have a trailer harness hooked up, and the cap is on the end, so nobody has messed with it. If the module is in poor shape, and I have to buy a new one, does this require a trip to the stealership for the part, or is it offered in the aftermarket?
