Anyone sent in a tail light to an out of state fix it shop to repair a ridiculously expensive intermittently working tail light?
Whole assembly is close to 800bucks, everything else works except brake light once in awhile.
You probably wouldnt need to replace the whole assembly. I have replaced just the electrical backside of multiple taillights albeit not a Yukon, but I am sure its possible. It was like $30 at the time.

What in the F kind of Yukon do you have dude? I didn’t think yours was new enough to have LED lights. Seriously what year and which one and I can search for you. Feel free to text me or PM.
Junk yard, 100 dolla. For real.
And you can go to a nice aftermarket set for sub 300 bucks. Look on ebay. Lots of new and used parts. My fancy aftermarket tail lights are way cheaper. I think your pricing at the wrong stores
Some rear lights now have the back up sensors built in, Ford F-150 is one of them $1000 light
What year?
He has LED tail lights and his pricing is not wrong. The cheapest used one is $300.00. These are things no one thinks about when purchasing a vehicle but need to know, more and more vehicles are coming with them and they are not cheap to replace.
Not surprised. New headlight for my truck was 1500$ lucky still under warranty.
not sure what year your yukon is but I had a similar intermittent taillight issue on my 2018 Silverado and it ended up being the wiring harness. It was like a $30 part if I remember right

That’s a very common issue but only for non LED lights.
The LED stuff is ridiculous. Had one here recently on a Ford Edge that was $1,400 for the taillight assembly.
Good gravy that is insane. I thought $500 for a damn mirror was ridiculous. At least that has cameras and is power folding.

They have came down in price then.
5 years ago I needed one for a customer and it was between 14/15 hundred.
Depending on model year I’m seeing them anywhere from $40 – $500 a piece in the very brief search I just ran. $619 on RockAuto for a 2018 Yukon, OEM assembly, and a $50 core charge. $280 for a Tahoe assembly on the same site… Yuok and Tahoe are the same truck, but I can’t verify if the tailight design differs in that last body style before the current one.
This just showed up on my FB marketplace. Rebuilt pair of taillights for 2015-2020 Yukon for $140 in Mahtomedi. Guy claims to rebuild them himself. May be worth contacting. I don’t want to post a link here so do a search on Marketplace for item 286332970711997
Update, once it got cold light issue went away, rolled w it since until warmer weather here, it’s back.
Found this video, did the repair, and it works again! Trickiest part was cutting and getting the plastic housing off since the metal connector is directly underneath. Throwing some gasket material i had laying around with liquid electrical tape on the edges to reseal, not perfect but the armchair mechanic in me says it’ll do.
Hope it helps someone, sure beats buying a new one.

Feels good to fix it your self and see it working. Odd that it works when cold but acts up when the temp is warmer

Its a resistance issue. When it warms up the resistance gets higher. Same reason my son had a devil of a time with his GTO that had a cobbed together starting circuit, too small of a gauge of wire and multiple splices. Now it works great after they put a direct circuit in.
