My tail light's been out for a month and I need some sort of diagram or service technician's manual to begin to trace my short.
(Updated with resolution): The dealer diagnosed it for $125 and sold me the inner housing ($77) which I installed myself. Six months later and the light was out again, but this time it was just a bulb. Three more months passed and the same light was out. After nearly getting ready to get rid of the car after an argument with the service dept of the dealership--and my thinking it was going to require me to replace and program the PCM---I happened to fix it when I disconnected the battery cable, inadvertently resetting the computer.
Strange.
