Hi! Kevin Hope I can help sorry to hear about your car having issues with the signals on , I would check for moister in the rear [tail lights](/topics-tail-light/) we have seen some issues with the rear circuit boards in the tail lights causing issues you might need to replace the electrical in the rear lights .

No moisture. I checked that already check the bulb and the connection
Automotive Expert
Okay it could be the circuit boards also unplug them and see if that will change

I see the fuel pump is on the same fuse. Could that have something to do with it
Automotive Expert
no should be a different circuit

Okay I will go unplug the rear lights and replug them and see what happens.
Automotive Expert
we have had some issues on the versa with the rear tail lights most of the time with the [brake](/topics-brake-nissan/) lights causing a loss of power signal to the TCM for the transmission thinks you are braking and try to slow the car down
Automotive Expert
Just post back if you have any more questions Thank you Roy!

Hi I did what you suggested and it worked fine the hesitation stopped. Thank you but if this happens again is there any remedy? Since you said that this problem has occurred in the past
Automotive Expert
If happened again I would replace the tail light electrical sockets

Are you talking about the bulb connections themselves or the electrical connectors
Automotive Expert
Part

Thank you
Automotive Expert
