2013 Dodge Journey reverse tail light

[Scott Campbell]

A little helpful hint for those who seem to have issues even after replacing the bulbs . So I replaced the bulb  several times in my back left reverse tail light with no success. On the rear door on the upper left hinge there is a cased wiring which feeds the back door panel. Pull back on the protective casing and look at wiring. In my case there where 4 wires broken . These wires are colour coded and should be easy to strip back and add a splice  in. Hope this helps people save money. Not the most attractive fix but efficient.

Thanks for the tip.

This is a known problem with the DJ.  Can cause everything from bulbs not lighting to door lock malfunction.  Very nice shot of the problem area.  Not always clear when being described.
