I doubt it's your battery - that should be good for another few years unless you have had a few full discharges and/or the magic eye is black.

I haven't had a chance to check yet but I suspect one of the bulbs behind the led tail lights on the tailgate has worked loose. I will look at it this weekend. My first thought was it was how cold it was outside yesterday here in NorCal, but I think super is right.

Do I have LED's or bulbs?
To diagnose and fix this, I'm thinking I just have to wait until it goes completely bad, right now I can't figure out what light's not working even when the warning light is on.
May not be the bumpy roads in the Bay Area, may be because I went off road again last month on a really rough trail.
