This past weekend, I needed to replace several bulbs that were not working
on the Durango.  I had one headlight out, one lift-gate light out, no
reverse lights, and one side with no brake lights.

The headlight and lift-gate lights were replaced with no trouble.  It turns
out the other two (brake light and reverse lights) issue were not light
bulb related.

After doing lots of troubleshooting and reading stuff on AllData, I decided
to try swapping the passenger tail light (the entire unit) and try it on
the driver's side.  Presto - the brake light was then working.  Turns out,
the circuit board in the tail light housing itself is bad.  No problem -
$25 on Ebay for a replacement on the way.

The reverse lights not working was not a buld, fuse, or relay.  It seems to
be a sensor in the transmission ($15 part - but a major headache to
replace).  I have decided to just leave that not working as it isn't worth
dropping the pan and value body in the transmission to replace that part.  

At least I won't get pulled over now - with all the driving related lights working.  

- Mark
