Default 06 rear running light out

Hey guys, I drive an 06 350z base model and the left tail running light does not work but the brake light does. Any ideas as to what it could be?

All these guys are noobs. One of them doesnt even have a 350z. Dont listen to them.

What happen is, you have an ecu meltdown. Its a rare known issue of the 350z. 2 way to fix it.

1st way is to take it to the dealership and ask them if they car redirect the ecu to the light. Sometimes youll be lucky and they can.

Another option is to call nissan HQ directly. Since its a document case, they will issue you a check for the full price of the car. However, that check is only valid at a nissan dealership. Be warn, when they issues the check, they will have someone come and tow the car away. So i would strip the interior to sell later.

The '06 has the LED tails, and there's not a single fuse just for that one light. Maybe pull the light housing and have a look at the wiring. All you need is a small flat-blade screwdriver and a 10mm socket for the 3 bolts. You can check the wiring with a meter, and if it's OK, must be a bad circuit board in the light housing.
