I have a 2014 Rapide S I picked it up from having the windshield tinted and noticed the left tail light and marker light on the rear bumper aren't working but the brake light is. I thought the tail light itself was bad until I noticed the marker light on the bumper was also out. does anyone have any suggestions as to where I can look?

I already removed the taillight inspected the connector, My manual didn't list any fuses for the tail lights.

 

I believe that they are the same lights as the Vantage, DB9 and DBS so you might have to widen your search on the forum as lots of other user had similar problem

 

Hsm - would the tail light failing also effect the incandescent marker light too?

 

There is only 1 incandescent light in the rear lights and it is the reverse (backlight).... Not sure if it is control by the same electronic board or not... without wiring diagrams it is hard to tell

 

Here is a good post that shows the inside of the rear tail lights

Thanks Handyman! I’ll look it over. I think I may have something more sinister going on as one of the daytime running lights is out too on the headlight. I wonder if something got wet behind the dash.

 

When I have the problem with my tail lights I think I will give these guys a try...

Sequential Tail Lights

 

Update. After leaving the car parked in sun all day. Everything is working again. Very strange, but hey it’s an Aston.

 

Yeah that confirms it... it is water in your lights...

 

Can't wait to see them on your car.

 

Rich - do they still take the painted insert so they look like factory ?

 

They are your factory light only the inside is all replaced and re-sealed, then shipped back to you.

 

So my taillight / headlight are out again after being back on for a few days. Could it be bad grounds ?

 

A little more background with the issue. I’ve been having electrical issues for a few months. First my radio would cut out for days at a time and come back on its own. I took it to the dealer and they could not find the issue. They checked the AMP and wiring. I happened to notice the outside temperature was stuck at 89 degrees F and did not move so I replaced the ambient temp sensor and the radio has been working ever since. During that same time I kept getting emission system codes for an o2 sensor p0136 and p0137. Then once I got a p2106 code and the car died and Displayed an urgent service engine message. Then after a few minutes restarted with no issues. I took it back to the dealer and they found a rusted washer and bolt on an ECU and some rusted bolts on ground wires. So now the lights happened and I noticed when the lights are not working the outside temperature was stuck reading 84F so I pulled the temp sensor and put it back in. Drove the car for a mile or so and it still stuck at 84. The next morning I noticed the temperature was working again so I turned on the lights and they were working also. Now 3 days later the lights are out again and sure enough the temperature is again reading 84f despite it being 107F outside. Does anyone have any knowledge of the Rapide electrical system and have a suggestion as to where On the vehicle I can check for more grounding issues?
