recebtly, my rear tail light and turn signals stopped working. After checking I found it to be the fuse. Replaced it and all good. But then when I hit the rear brake. Popped fuse again.
Checked underneath and say one of the connectors dangling. Reconnected it and good to go.... for a few miles. Same issue. I cant get the thing to stay in place (connected). It looks like my exhaust bracket (bassani 2-1) is rubbing in it and causing it to come loose.
Mine switch was replaced on recall some years back might want to check it out.
