Consumer Description
ON 1/12/2020 WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK I TURNED ON MY RIGHT TURN SIGNAL TO MERGE AND IT RAPIDLY CLICKED AND FLASHED ON THE DASH AFTER THE INITIAL 3 NORMAL FLASHES AND I NOTICED THE CAR IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME WASN'T ACKNOWLEDGING MY TURN SIGNAL. ONCE HOME AN HOUR LATER, I REALIZED MY PASSENGER REAR TAIL LIGHT WAS STEADILY LIGHT (NOT FLASHING) EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS OFF AND MY LIGHTS WERE NOT ENGAGED AND POSITION OFF. I COULD NOT GET MY TURN SIGNAL/TAIL LIGHT TO TURN OFF. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WORK FINE WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED BUT THE TAIL LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF. THE REAR SIGNAL WON'T WORK EITHER SINCE THE LIGHT WON'T TURN OFF TO FLASH. I HAD TO REMOVE THE LIGHT FROM THE REAR FENDER AND UNPLUG THE LIGHT SO MY CAR WON'T DIE AND PLUG IT BACK IN WHEN I GO TO DRIVE SO I ATLEAST HAVE THE TAIL AND BRAKE LIGHT ON WHILE DRIVING. I CAN FIND NO INFO ON HOW TO FIX THIS AND CHRYSLER WASN'T ANY HELP. THE PROBLEM IS STILL UNRESOLVED, BUT IT DID GO OFF FOR JUST ONE MOMENT, FLICKERED AND CAME BACK ON WHEN I PLUGGED IT BACK IN THE LAST TIME I DROVE.
