my rear left wheel arch light is acting funny...
it goes on and off, i think it's a loose connection.
can anyone give me instructions on how to get to it?
i don't want to have to take the entire rear bumper off if i don't have to!
any tips or how-to's would be appreciated! thanks in advance!

I am not a big electrical guy, sorry. Try asking that guy who did the paper clip mod. Hope that helps...

to get to the light you need to remove the inner fender liner after removing the wheel..It's an easy task...just time consuming :smile:

Good luck!!

Have a GREAT day!!

Or make the dealer fix it under warranty if it's not to far

rataha....
the dealer isn't too far, but i'd rather bother the dealer for more significant problems!
i fixed it!
it took some time, but the bulb was just loose in the socket.
what a pain those plastic fasteners are!
