I discovered some tail lights not working, #1 in the photo, and the same with the left tail light position. All light bulbs do work. I checked the fuse box and all is well there. Thoughts?

Does anyone know the part # for the side far end tail light, #2 in the photo? It's a very small bulb and I need to replace it.

Check for corrosion on the bulbs, the connectors and any grounds. Bulb types should be listed in your owner's manual. Any auto parts store should be able to match them also.

Problems solved! Connector tab was not touching bulb.

In my experience this will not last. Once the spring is gone on the tab it will work loose again. If it does you might consider trying to bend the tab a bit to add some tension to it. I've even stuck a small piece of hard rubber or a splinter of wood to held tension the tab. The PET will give you the info on the bulb. Or look at the side of the bulb for the ID number. Or just take in to the FLAPS and match it up

Does anyone know if I can access PET with a Mac?

Yes, David, you can. It's a PDF.
