can anyone tell me how to remove the tail light lens? I'm having an issue with my break light but it is not the bulb--I have changed it (and of course its the light on the driver's side in a camper Crying or Very sad ) The only other thing I can think of is that the bulb holder might be corroded, but it will not fit through the narrow opening that you have to work with. So I need to remove the lens to get to it...

Or does anyone have other ideas???

there is the wire harness which connects to a bulb holder board (not the official name) which then snaps into the lens assembly. (as you've mentioned)

inside the van are small nuts that secure the assembly to the van body. it's not a hard job to remove the whole assembly but are you sure you can't just remove the board that the bulbs go on and check all those terminals?

buy some electronic board cleaner which will react with any corrosion and result in nice shiny contacts. or just use an eraser or mini grinding bit or whatever.

if things look good you might want to back further up the harness and check for reliable operation to see if it's wiring fault from some other place.

Any chance you found your brake light issue? I am having issues of my own and would love any more information.
