I have a 2000 Mercury sable and a few weeks ago the back tail light went out. I bought a new bulb and had a friend change it. But now it went out again, 2 months later. Should I just buy a new bulb or take it to a mechanic to see if anything else like wiring is wrong?

I would check the socket that the bulb goes in,also,if there is moister getting in the tail light this will also cause the problem.

SOURCE: changing the tail light bulbs on a 2000 mazda 626

The Tail Lights Are Accessed From The Inside Of The Trunk There Will Either Be A Panel Immediately Behind Where The Light Is Or Carpet. Remove It And It Will Give You Access To The Rear Of The Bolts Just Grab Twist And Pull And The Light Will Come Out.

How many miles on the plugs and wires? Misfire can be caused by either plugs or wires, after that check the injector for that cylinder. Let me know what u find. Curt

i would check your ignition system. you would need a meter for this but look for broke or loose connections. if it was a fuel problem i dont think it would just start up after 20 minutes. or you might try your ignition switch. if its shorting or something then ya well it would cut your engine off real quick

How do you change the dash lights 2000 mercury sable

Kevin, unfortunately this requires removal of the instrument panel. The bulbs are screwed into the circuit board on the back of the instrument panel. This can be a messy job if you've never had one off before.

How do i fix the brake lights on my mercury sable. all the other lights work fine

Does your car have the `lamp out'indicator system? It's more complicated.
My manual shows fuse #28 , a 15 amp fuse powers the brake bulbs.Is this the one you changed?
A bulb can be out for a long time and you don't notice it,then the other burns out and you think they both went out at the same time,but they might not have,see?
So check the bulbs and make sure you got that brake switch installed correctly. don-ohio (:^)

Open trunk,pull away any liner,and if you

I have a 2000 Dodge Durango I bought about 4 hours ago. The tail lights do not work but the brake light and turn signals do. Also the dash lights do not work. The dash lights came on when I hit the...

The odds are the one fuse is blown for the dash and the tail lights. And the wrong bulb may have been put in for the brake light. The brake light is feeding back into the tail light circuit causing the fuse to blown out.

Change out the bulbs with OEM bulbs and replace the blown fuse. That should fix the problem.

How do you remove the tail light asy.to replace the brake light bulb on a 2000 sable wagon. Thank you, any help will be great. Charles.

Hi Charles,
this is an easy one for you,
open your trunk and pull carpet away from where the tail light is on the one you want out,you will see five plastic thumb nuts,you just remove them and pull the lens assembly out,remove the bulb you want to change by turning it counter clock wise.
