Taillight Problem

[Axel Gleis]

Hi,
I`ve got a problem with the tallights of my 2008 Tahoe. Both taillights don`t shine anymore. The bulbs are still ok and the turn signals and rear stop lamps are working. Perhaps a fuse is damaged, but can someone tell me which fuse I had to look for (number)? Maybe it`s another problem! Any ideas?
Thanks for your help and nice greetings from Germany.
Axel

Check your bulbs again. Look at the filaments of the bulbs and see if they are still together. Tap the bulbs with your finger, to see if you feel a vibration coming from inside the bulbs. If you do, replace the bulbs.

Thanks for your help. I`ll change the bulbs this evening. Hopefully that`s the solution and there is no bigger electric problem.

IMHO, if it is still under warranty and the bulbs check out ok, take it to the stealership.

Unfortunately it is not possilble to buy a Tahoe in Germany from a local dealer. My Tahoe is an imported car from the USA and the GM warranty expires in Europe. I´ve bought a warranty from a german insurance, but it`s just for the engine and some other expensive motor parts. But the bulbs are shining again since yesterday. Perhaps it was a loose connection and I`m hoping it will never come again.
Thank for your friendly help!
