2010 SL AWD

I recently was in a wreck. The fool T-boned me from a stop sign.
They had to replace both right side doors.
I recently discovered something weird with the taillights.

With the headlights on, the top left tail light doesn't light and the bottom right tail light doesn't light.
When I turn on the left turn signal the top tail light flashes and when I turn on the right turn signal the bottom right tail light flashes. :confused:

To me this reeks of some reversed connection(s) somewhere.

Anybody have any wiring knowledge about my Rogue?

Take a look at the link in my signature line and find the FSM for your Rogue. It'll have the wiring diagram.

They probably put the light bulbs in the wrong sockets

Don't you think I would have looked...oh...never mind. :blush:

It turns out they reversed the sockets in the right tail light and put the wrong bulb in to boot.
:rolleyes:
You would have thought Nissan would have keyed the sockets so they couldn't be reversed. I guess I expect too much.

They also failed to plug in the right fog lamp which I discovered when I went to put the new bulb in.
This is the 6th time I've had to go back to these guys after they repaired my Rogue after the wreck.
:mad:
They did reimburse me for the bulbs, though, plus a bit more.
Thanks for the help. :)
