its b/c you took your foot off the brake.....

ok seriously
when are you seeing the issue.
i'm assuming you are talking about at night?
a little more info about the conditions would be helpful.


wrong battery i'm thinking no....
if anything with the battery you would be seeing issues across all electrical systems.

I'd think that with a battery problem something else would fail before the taillights. When my battery died I lost the radio, gauge cluster, interior lights, exterior lights, emergency flashers, and engine in that order. Check the wiring is my only guess
ps electrical problems are a b***c

you know come to think of it when i got my 01 i had to replace most of the taillights they were all burnt out....

suspension noise.... ball joint, spring coil isolator bushing, bad strut, strut dust cover rubbing..... thats my best guess...

Check the fluid. It's under the hood, next to the fuse box.
