    Long time lurker/student and have already searched the forms.

    Installed sliders last weekend and since then passenger side brake light not working. checked electrical connections drivers side box, bulb is good and even checked fuse. All other lighting works fine. Did the job solo which might be part of the problem?

    Trying to avoid taking it to the dealer since its still under warranty. 2020 OR

    I was thinking the same thing. If you weld it on, make sure the ground is good and not near essential components.

    Or bolt on, make sure you didn’t pinch any wire harnesses

    Took all wire harnesses off checked brake light again and still not working. Ran my hand along the cable as far as possible both forward and backward. Then reattached.

    If you bolted them on remove them and take to dealer.
