I was reading somewhere, that it may have to do with my tail lights. My tail light indicator on the dash has been on for awhile. I found a wire going from tail light to tail light. I think this is how they fixed a short in the system. The drivers side got disconnected somehow and that is when the light on the dash came on. The problem I'm having is I know it was connected to the blue wire on the passenger side, but it was disconnected on the drivers and all the wires have a nick out of them, so I'm not sure which it was connected to. Anybody have an idea which one? I'm not sure if I should go poking around with the wires, may set off the airbags or something stupid, lol. I don't know much about electrical and am scared I may break something. Any help would be much appreciated.

It may be because of wiring.

I'm pretty sure it is. I called dealer and they said same thing. It stopped now, I checked passenger tail light and the #3 has some brownish stuff on it.

I think it is the problem of loose connection.Its better to go to your nearest work station.
