My car just came out of the paint shop yesterday. They had removed the rear light enclosure before painting and the the "bulb tray" sat in the trunk. After paint it was re-assembled. A pretty simple job.


Issue:

Orange light in dashboard on with "Rear Lights Out". Both daytime tail lights are not working. Or even when regular lights switched to ON.


Troubleshooting:

All fuses seem to be OK.
Signal lights work OK.
Brake lights OK.
Rear fog lights OK.
Disconnected/connected battery.

I believe the tail light bulb is the same for both tail/brake light. I think just the intensity increases. So for now I can't drive at night.

Stumped.

Any suggestions/tips?

I did notice the issue right at the shop. We went through the procedure. The rear quarter panels were painted. The light assemble is pretty simple. Nothing was disconnected. But from what I can tell nothing they did "should" have caused this.

I have checked the connections.

BUT the ground taps? Where are they located?
