Rear light failure

[Grobian]

I recently experienced that the constant red light in the rear, in the inner rear light attached to the hatch on the right side, failed. It flickered for a few moments before turning itself off and not being able to turn back on. Has anyone experienced this here?

I did find some information about the circuit board being weak on a number of BMWs with LED rear lights, and that some have had success in re-soldering one of the connections on it.

Is there anything else that could be causing this?

The indicator lights still work on the inner rear light. I'll be hearing with my dealer but currently on a (road) trip!

I had a rear light failure issue once, turned out to be the battery and nothing to do with the light.

Lo and behold, rear light functions again when I unlock the car at the dealer... Maybe you might be onto something about the battery. I will try and check the date of it..

I have the same issue. It was raining all day and gave me this warning. When I arrived home. I turned off the car. When I turned it in, it flickered and went out. Did you find the reason for the problem?
