STEP 41. Check the wiring harness between rear side marker light (LH) connector F-20 (terminal 1) and intermediate connector F-12 (terminal 1).

Q: Is the wiring harness between rear side marker light (LH) connector F-20 (terminal 1) and intermediate connector F-12 (terminal 1) in good condition?

YES: Replace the rear side marker light (LH) socket. Verify that the rear side marker light (LH) illuminates normally.

NO: The wiring harness may be damaged or the connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. Repair the wiring harness as necessary. Verify that the rear side marker light (LH) illuminates normally.




STEP 42. Check the wiring harness between rear side marker light (LH) connector F-20 (terminal 2) and intermediate connector F-12 (terminal 2).

Q: Is the wiring harness between rear side marker light (LH) connector F-20 (terminal 2) and intermediate connector F-12 (terminal 2) in good condition?

YES: Replace the rear side marker light (LH) socket. Verify that the rear side marker light (LH) illuminates normally.

NO: The wiring harness may be damaged or the connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. Repair the wiring harness as necessary. Verify that the taillight (LH) illuminates normally.




STEP 43. Check rear side marker light (RH) connector F-19 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.

Q: Is rear side marker light (RH) connector F-19 in good condition?
