Been there myself. It's a pain when you pull into the gas station and the filler door won't open because some fuse on the REM keeps blowing every time you lock the doors.

ugh celebrated too soon. Anyone have insight why the high mount brake light would be dim? I check voltage and it was fluctuating between 7.4 upto 9. Once it hit 11.1 volts. You can see the lights flickering. I thought LED were either on or off. I know I spliced the broken wires but I measured and got nearly the same voltage at the splices as I did at the light socket. is there something feeding that could be sending dirty waivering signals? The shop failed my inspector today cause the light didn't come on. I think they tested it with the car off. It is my understanding this light only comes on if the car is on
