have researched/electrical

I just wanted a second opinion on what's wrong before I jump out into the rain and try to fix it.......


So my tail lights are sometimes working and my head lights are always working. Just checked my lights today and my right reverse light was working but nothing else except my head lights of coarse. I'm thinking that I'll need to replace the head light switch and harness as per the FAQs (2nd gen specific) but due to the one reverse light and also my hazards, I just wanted to double check.

don't forget to replace both. If you only replace one, they both will fail again shortly.

Year? Model?

Sounds like the CPU is unplugged on the bottom two plugs if it is a S4

CPU is the black body computer in the drivers kick panel. Just making sure that you are looking there.
