Well, this wasn't the Ranger Day post I was hoping to make, but here we are!

Picked up my brand new Ranger XLT today that I ordered 3 months ago. Super excited! Took the afternoon off work to tinker with it and plan the accessories I will install on it soon.

Anyway, drove it less than 11 miles, brought it home and was idling in the driveway while playing with settings on the infotainment, when a yellow error light popped up on the bottom left corner of the dash cluster... At the same time, my Ford app alerted me that with "Exterior Light Inoperative" - see screenshot attached.

Super bummed. I just brought it home! Think it's an easy fix? I've got a wild day at work tomorrow so don't think I can drop it off until at least Thursday... but hoping it is something simple and a same day repair.

Curious if anyone else has seen this? Thanks guys.

Don't have bulbs to worry about having a RR

Probably just a manufacturing defect causing early failure. It happens. Sucks you'll need to take it back in, but I'm sure the dealer will fix that quickly.

Thanks for the reassurance. I did find it odd that the high beams work fine which appear to be the same led bulbs? Maybe I'm wrong.

Hopefully dealer can get to to the bottom of it
