So what happens here if the Radio-stereo-I-frikken Pod- Blueberry system is
also broke?  Happens all the time...a faulty sensor sending a faulty Fault
to the faulty computer...But you must send the vehicle on a flatbed to the
dealer who uses his diagnostic computer to tell you ...whatever they come up
with...and you get the thing back..only a few thousand bucks out of
pocket...if you haven't bought a secondary insurance policy betting that
something like this may happen...
  They could just leave access to the taillight bulb and save you
money...but where is the profit in that for the dealer, the insurance
company, the tow guys, etc etc etc.
