Stevenwhited1 Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 The other night my wife noticed the driver side headlight and passenger tail light were flickering. Now they appear to not illuminate at all. Battery and alternator checked with no problem. I checked the ground in the engine bay and seems to check out. Swapped light bulbs and fuses and issue persists. Checked the wiring harness at the lift gate and the wires all appear intact. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5rebel9 Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 Have you or maybe a previous owner converted lights to LED bulbs? VERY problematic in Dodges for flicker symptoms if that was done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenwhited1 Posted May 13 Author Report Share Posted May 13 We have not and bought it new. The only issue we’ve had previously was the passenger tail light got water in it and stopped working. The tail light was replaced and worked again. That was 2 years ago. it’s also having an issue with turn signals. Left signal works on the front only and right only works on the rear.

With no background info to go from in your first post, I had to ask. My it seems you've had quite a bit of lighting troubles for such a newer vehicle. Water in a tail light before, are you in an area that gets a LOT of rainfall and possible flood damage? Do you have a trailer hitch and wiring on the vehicle?

Stevenwhited1 Posted May 13 Author Report Share Posted May 13 The tail light had a BB size hole in it from some sort of unknown damage allowing water to get into it. There is no trailer hitch wired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no trailer hitch wired. Since the 2011 models, lighting has been rather trouble free of problems you describe. I can only think of 3 possibilities {1} bad turn signal/multifunction switch {2} Fuse panel /TIPM under the hood {3} broken or "critter chewed" wires Good luck and keep us informed as to what is found and the fix needed, it will help other Journey owners.
