Tailgate bulb error possible fix

If you keep getting a bulb error for a bulb in the tailgate try lifting the centre contact in the bulb holder first.

I kept getting an intermittent fault and this is how I solved my issue.

The contact had been pushed down and was allowing the bulb to move up and down in the holder.

Which Bulbs are you referring to? No lights on my actual trunk (inner brake lights, license plate lights) work. Ive found no fuse issues and have tested the bulbs.

In the UK they are the rear fog light bulbs, in the USA i believe they are the adaptive brake lights.

I kept getting a bulb out error on the dash.
