That was Mr. Shannon looking for dud sensors.

The way they get fried is the tail light windings overheat and short to one another. Then both R and L tail lights get powered from either fuse 15 or 16, and the symptom is the warning light is on whenever the lights are on (parking or headlights).

This can happen when the dual filament bulb is inserted 180 off, and the brake light gets used for a tail light. Don't put anything but white fuses (8A) in 15 and 16.
