Like the taillight that cost $5600 in repairs when water got in? https://hackaday.com/2023/09/09/when-tail-lights-lose-touch-with-reality/ https://hackaday.com/2023/09/09/when-tail-lights-lose-touch-... snip: The problem with the vehicle was simple enough, indeed it’s one we’ve had in the past ourselves. Water got into a tail light, and corroded some connectors. The difference with this Ford though was that such a simple fault took out the whole car, and that the fix for a simple tail light cost $5600. The first was due to a vehicle-wide CAN bus going down due to the electrical short, and the second was due to the assembly containing an assortment of wiring and modules which couldn’t be replaced separately. These included some form of side-facing parking radar, a component unnecessary for operation of the light itself.
