Tail light problem
I have seen this posted here many times but I have never seen a definitive answer and/or solution for the problem. I have a 00 cpe and sometimes when I turn the headlights on the dash and tail lights do not illuminate. I am not very electricly inclined so I wasn't sure if anyone found a solution for this problem. Thanks in advance for the help.

Not an easy one but a few guys have fixed that problem by cleaning up the grounds
The rear lights ground on the left rear driver's side chassis (G401). You can get to it by taking out the driver side tail light.
The other fix may be to clean the ground that’s located behind the driver’ side headlight opposite the alternator.
