Have you opened up the bed panel to check it? Mine went out as well. I opened her up and found this....

Once I repaired the wire, it works like new.

No I am hoping the weather holds up tomorrow so I can take a look. I didn't even know it was out till someone told me

Same. I was off road with friends and they told me over the radio.

The first time I took it all apart; thought I’d found the bad connection, as it was working now. Then put it back together. It lasted a day or two. The next time I replaced the light and the harness. I wanted to do it only one more time. It’s been flawless for almost 2 years now. I still have the harness in case it was just the light.

Same here.... Dealership told me when I took truck in for clutch recall. Asked me if I wanted them to repair and I told them I'd do it myself. Not paying them to fix something that to me was simple fix and paying them an arm and a leg as I'm out of warranty.

I just had mine replaced under warranty on Friday. Almost did it myself cause I thought it was fairly cheap compared to some others (know a few people with other brands that has had this happen) and a hassle to get to a dealership and then leave it.

My light had a wonky connection, got it to work intermittently messing with the connection. Already a new one inbound and just replaced assembly no issues. Just be happy your not buying hardware from them. Grabbing different bits here and there to start my Fusion 60’s project and try to keep the take off axles as complete as possible…..$64 a BOLT x6 to install unit bearings. No way were they getting my money for that, so in my mind $90 for a light not so bad

I had to replace mine. It was an easy job. I don’t know if any others, but I didn’t look hard. I just ordered it online and paid what you had listed from them:)

I pulled up behind a Gladiator at a stop light a few days ago and noticed the brake light in the handle wasn't working.

The LED tail lights are bright enough I never worried about it. This truck I got in February. I'll worry about it if I ever get pulled over and told it needs fixed.
