Came home from a trip and noticed my driver side blinker illuminating at a faster rate than normal. Verified my rear driver break light is no longer functioning just out of the blue. Mobile Service is coming to look at it, but being the curious person I am I wanted to figure it out the process of removing the tail light.

Anyone familiar with the steps, or know if it’s just a led bulb that’s serviceable? Can’t find any instructions on this beyond someone tackling this with an R1T.

I could verily be wrong, but I think all of the lighting on these vehicles is built-in LED, and not inherently user-maintainable. In this instance, Rivian will have to correct it and (ideally) it shouldn't be a problem again for the life of the vehicle.

Had a similar issue recently with a dead 12v. Some lights wouldn’t even illuminate at all.

definitely a SC appointment more then likely. If you have a way to check your battery voltage probably wouldn’t hurt but if your dc/dc converter is working, a 240v charge or fast charge should correct if related to 12v battery. If not like above poster mentioned could just be a faulty LED and SC would fix
