I see more durangos with lights out than on and this is still happening to this day I can't believe they let this happen all these years and not fix the problem. Glad I bought a Grand Cherokee instead.

Thanks guy, I just got that dim exactly on the same spot as your SUV. It's been like that for about a month. I didn't know it was caused by water. I have a car wash membership that let's me go through as many times as I want. So this is the cause. Thanks for the info, very helpful.

I’ve replace 2 already. Same shit keeps happening. My friends SRT caught fire like this. The light got water and caused an electrical fire. Dodge refuses to acknowledge this is happening. I guess they are waiting until someone is trapped inside and DIES from a fire.

This has been an on going issue with that Durango track tail light for years. I had mine replace 2 times. the issue is the cheap big sponge gaskets on each side. eventually heavy rain will begin penetrating through the upper part of it. I have a well documented open case with FCA about it . They said they were investigating it but they have not gotten back to me. I have been so fed up with he issue that on the last new replacement that was put in I sprayed it with plasti-dip. Plasti-dip is a rubber waterproof removable paint like material that has been used by car enthusiasts to cover up and paint parts of vehicles. I use it to coat those stupid gaskets that should have been made by solid rubber to begin with. I choose plasti-dip over a caulk because it is removable incase you ever have to remove the track light. Only thing is you have to spray some in the creases between the body and the light fixture around the gasket at least once or twice a year so it can continue its protectant seal. Hope this can help everyone with this issue. It doesn't matter if you get a brand new track light this issue will happen again unless it is coated. Thanks FCA for making such a cheap bullshit gasket. They have a 95K version Durango Hellcat with this same crap on it. They should be ashamed. I wish I could work for them and design a real rubber gasket for this issue since all the idiot designers there did not do a good job.

Mine went out at 34,500 miles, right before my warranty went out. I went to the dealership and they said there's not one available, and it could be months. I made the mistake of telling them I was trying to trade it in & the defective tail light was hurting my trade in value. They didn't want to place an order for the part because if it came in after i got rid of the vehicle... they were stuck with a $1200 part. I ended up buying one in a junk yard for $350... IT HAS THE SAME ISSUE!!!

Be careful with that because you may introduce condensation which also can destroy your led board. Keep an eye on small water build up, let alone the puddle of water.
