Any idea where the "position light" is? I looked in the manual and didn't see it anywhere....
Thanks in advance,

In the tail light housing. Number 3 in this image:
There are position lights (parking lights) in the front as well. The small filament in the turn signal bulb, I believe. So you'll have to replace the whole bulb.

My car gives me this message about 3 times a year, and it's always the left rear. i just go back and give the lens a whack with my hand and it pops back on. no big deal, but kind of a barbaric fix
Mine just happens to be left rear.....I'll try it and report back.

My left rear is also not working. I will whack it today and see what that does. What is the function of these lights?
I think you can leave these lights on when leaving the car in a dark place,
so that its "position" will be visible. Since the total power usage is quite low,
it should be possible to leave the car for several hours with the position lights on.
I don't know if this function interferes with DRL's, my car doesn't have DRL's, when I leave
the car, I can put the light switch at twelve o clock to turn the position lights on.
Some (European) cars have a feature that when the contact is turned off with
the direction indicator handle in the left or right position, the corresponding position
lights will stay on to mark the car. This enables the car to be better visible on the side
closest to the road while using even less power.

Before you go beating up your car's tail lights, :) check fuses 30 and 31 in the left side of the dash under the panel. I also just had this problem pop up and found 2 blown fuses. I think mine may have come from hooking up to a trailer with faulty wiring.Quote:
