Thanks for sharing. Glad to hear it was replaced under warranty.

Interesting that you didn't get a brake light indicator or lamp out indicator at all... hmm.

I suspect the module was still providing about the same resistance to the electrical system and didn't really go 'out', but had a bad section in it's own circuitry.

It is surprising that they don't have a checking circuit that would see a bad section and then cut power to the unit to allow the rest of the electrical system to see it as a blown bulb.
