Tail lamp failure due to water egress. Item is a 2001 Chevy Venture tail lamp circuit board socket. Nature of design is a 4 bulb in-line circuit board socket holder, its mounted with electrical connector at the top, thus allowing water to enter the socket holder via wires and connector. Water floods tail lamp and shorts out the tail lamp. Over time the steel circuit plate wires become corroded and can no longer make a complete circuit, thus very dim or no tail lamp lights.
Taillight circuit boards overheat and melt causing failure. Left one happened 3 years ago while under warranty. And most recently right one melted and had to pay to have it replaced. Service advisor said they had seen several of these.
The contact stated the driver side tail light continually bured out. The dealership determined the tail lamp housing on the inboard side and the plug needed to be replaced.
2001 cev Venture mini van rear tail light assembly corroded and circuit board shorted. Stopped by police have had friends with same problem >local garage (not dealer) has seen many Venture with same problem. Dealer wow first time.
2001 Chevrolet Venture - tail lights filled with water when it rained, causing the tail light brake bulb to short. The traction light then comes on in the dash.
