Tail light problem with my 2012 GT
I hope I'm posting in the right place!
Last night, I noticed that my tail lights don't work while driving... So the running lights don't work but the brake lights do. Everything works except for the running lights.
I don't know what to do to figure out what the problem is and I wouldn't be able to take it to a dealer before Monday to get it checked out.
What do I need to look at? The fuse? I'm assuming the bulb is fine since everything else works...
Help would be appreciated
Oh and, greetings from Canada :P

It might be because of my lights being automatic but I just went to make sure and when I turn the ignition key to on, the only lights that actually light up are the headlights and the fog lights. All 4 side markers on the car are off and the tail lights are also off.
turn signals, reverse, hazards everything there works except for the running lights.
I'm not sure what you mean by daytime running lights and not operating the light switch but I have my switch set to A. Daytime or night time, my tail lights are off. As far as the markers being off at night, I would have to wait until tonight to find out but im pretty sure they are going to be off too...

Ah nevermind. I may have figured it out. Most likely to be a blown fuse... I'll have to take a look to see if the fuse is indeed blown.
I hope I don't need to take it to the dealer to have them change a damn fuse though... I should be able to do that myself.

Hopefully the warranty covers all of it. We'll see if the 500+ parts coverage on this warranty comes in handy now.

I really doubt it's a fuse; the tail lamps are LED and don't have separate circuits for bright and dim operation. They're fed with a PWM signal and the duty cycle of the PWM pulses is increased when they need to be brighter (e.g. when you hit the brakes.) If a fuse was blown, they wouldn't come on for the turn signal or brakes either.

So I confirmed it is a blow fuse. Like the dumbass I am, I had the wrong fuse type on hand and when I pulled the fuse from the car I was confronted with mini fuses instead of regular ones. I'll go buy the correct replacement tomorrow and the problem should be fixed
