Here is picture with the Pin 4 swapped with Pin 6 which has black and blue i believe.



Here is image of the brakes applied with all the taillight bulb in working order.



The photo of full rear brakes applies all bulbs in working function.



Bruce here is the message i get everytime i initally start up or after i apply the brakes then let go off the pedal i get the error message.



Then after 5sec or so the system shows OKAY, How weird. Thats with the pins you told me to swap it with bruce and it still intermittenly does this malfunction.



After the swap I went for an test drive within 1 min malfunction light pops on, thru out the 5min drive there was 5 malfunction warning that i've counted. Does it matter if all my bulbs front turn signal, sidemarkers, taillights, License plate are LED have to do with these intermitten errors bruce? All of the LED have resistors and cause no error on I-drive so if that helps.

If this was working previously and has recently started giving you a problem then did you change any other bulbs around the time when the problem started? Swap the wires back to how it was if the errors were less often. PM me with further information so that we can spare the rest with what seems to be an issue that's only related to you - unless there are others who have a similar problem but I don't suppose so else I would have known.

this fixed worked for me. I had a left tail light out malfunction out of nowhere. But I did the swap and it fixed it for now. Mind you, my plug has two wires that are spliced together for #4 and #6, so its a little different than the pics.

I've had the problem for a couple of months now and didn't have the time to switch the wires until today because I took the car to Vegas last weekend and it nearly drove me crazy with the constant warning chimes coming on while going fast on the way home.

After much wait and hope, today I read up and followed the instructions carefully to swap wires 4 and 6 and after going on a short test drive, the warning chime came back

I'm going to Vegas again tomorrow and it will be annoying the hell out of me as it came one every 2~5 mins at one point on my last trip.

Please help.
