Why are the tail lights of the Pajero not working?
2 Answers
The reasons why the tail lights of the Pajero are not working include: damaged tail light bulb, poor grounding of the tail light, open circuit in the tail light wiring, blown tail light fuse, or low voltage. Methods to address tail light failure: 1. Check the tail light bulb: Bulbs have a relatively short lifespan, and replacing the bulb can solve the issue when the tail light is not working. 2. Check the brake light switch: If the tail light switch is faulty, the tail light will not work. During inspection, you can use a wire to bridge the tail light switch. If the tail light works, it indicates the switch is damaged. 3. Check the fuse: If both the bulb and switch are confirmed to be functioning properly, check the fuse. At this point, you can inspect the operation of other electrical devices in the vehicle. Identify any non-functioning electrical devices and replace the corresponding fuse. The Pajero is a mid-to-large-sized SUV under Mitsubishi, with dimensions of 4900mm in length, 1875mm in width, and 1900mm in height.
I often repair cars and encounter issues with the Pajero's taillights not working. The most common cause is bulb aging and burnout, as filaments are prone to breakage in vibrating environments. Blown fuses are also a frequent issue—you can check the corresponding taillight fuse in the fuse box to see if it's burned out. Sometimes, it's due to a short circuit or poor contact. For example, when I worked on a car last time, I found the taillight connector was loose, and simply reinserting it fixed the problem. Relay failure or a malfunctioning body control module can also prevent current from reaching the bulb, which requires professional diagnostic tools. Driving frequently on rough roads accelerates wiring wear, increasing the frequency of such issues. Timely inspection and repair are crucial to avoid nighttime driving hazards.
