When a burnt-out circuit board leaves a tail light dark, the Dorman tail light circuit board, part number 923-018 from Dorman OE Solutions, is designed to take the place of the failure-prone board that came stock in the lamp. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1997-2005 Chevrolet Venture, 1999-2005 Pontiac Montana and 1997-2004 Oldsmobile Silhouette. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list. It is cataloged for both the left and right tail light positions.
Inside the tail light housing, the circuit board carries current to the lamps. If that board melts or burns out, the light it feeds can stop working. Dorman built this board as a direct swap for the one installed at the factory.
- Direct replacement: made to directly replace the circuit board fitted as standard in the tail lights of the specified vehicles.
- Easy installation: detach the failed board and plug this one in.
- Required repair: a tail light with a melted circuit board won't work until the board is replaced.
- Value: designed to match the original equipment's performance at a lower cost than a dealership part.
If a melted or burnt-out board is why your tail light has stopped working, this board replaces it. Check the bulbs, sockets and wiring first to confirm the cause.
