Blind spot monitor stopped working

[ds28]

It used to be intermittent but now I get the message that the Blind Spot detection is not working every time I start.

The left taillight harness is suspect. On pins 7 and 9 where I get 14 volts on the right tail light, I only get 12.9v on pin 9 and 7.9v on pin 7 on the left side.

I guess I will have to trace backwards from that wire harness and see where the loss in voltage is coming from.

Has anyone dealt with this and know where all I can easily access wiring that heads back to the left taillight ?

and my drivers side Rambox pops open randomly still. I usually disconnect the wire so I have to use the key to get in. Maybe related as I’m seeing water/corrosion is common here. It’s a 2020 Ram.

Here is the connector to the drivers ram box, I am guessing this is part of the circuit that goes to the taillight, causing loss in voltage due to corruption.

I reported both the Rambox and Blind Spot detection issues to the dealership while under warranty, but they were never able to find anything, and now Im at 81000.

Well I am going to get a few new harnesses and hope this works. Some of the wires are so bad they are not even connected anymore. I am only going back to the main wire bus even though you can see there is corrosion coming off that pig tail too.
