My wife was following me home last night and called and said I had a passenger tail light out. No biggie get up go get a bulb this morning but old bulb wasnt bad. After checking the passenger front parking lamp is not working and rear tail lamp is all that's out. Brake lights work,blinker work,flasher work. So I go to the fuse block and no fuses or relay are bad. I'm at a loss what could it be any help will be greatly appreciated.

Taillight bulbs are dual filament 3157s for your 2011.
The brake, turn & flash are one filament, the running light is the 2nd.
You need a T25 torx bit to remove the housing & change the bulb.

Do both of your reverse lights work?

I've already changed the bulb and took the old bulb and put it in the driver side and it worked fine. And yes both reverse lights work only things not working are passenger side front parking lamp and passenger side rear running light. Both blinkers work front and back, both brake lights work, both flasher work.

Ok, the only other information i can give you is the wire that feeds those two bulbs is a white and tan wire going straight into the TIPM module. Which is the box with the fuses and relays are in, no fuse for this circuit is shown. So if you can get to that wire under the TIPM , turn on your lights and see if you have voltage to it. If not power is not coming out of the module. If so you most likely have a break in the wire going to the bulbs.

This is coming from a wiring diagram in a chiltons manual, but is for a 2011

They show to be separately grounded at the front and rear light assemblies, so i wouldnt think that would be the issue.

Change the front turn signal bulb too.
Have to remove the headlight bucket to access it.
Computer controls the lights now, no more flashers or relays. If one bulb is out might make the others wonky.
The curse of CANBUS! :mad:
