Yesterday I noticed my cargo light and 3rd brakelight weren't coming on. This morning I took the housing off. This is what I found. Two of the connectors came off the board. The pic of the lone connector is from the cable coming out of the cab.
Can these be just glued back to the board? Or do I need new one?
We're leaving for Colorado in the morning. And of course it's a Sunday.
Thanks

Those are electrical connections you can't glue them. You would have to solder them back to the circuit board, you can probably find a soldering iron and solder at the hardware store. The one connector looks like it may have taken some of the PCB with it which would complicate the repair and may necessitate a whole new lamp

Thanks. I guess I'll find a Ford dealer while we're Colorado.

Unfortunately that can't be soldered back on either. Looks like it ripped the pads right off. That's a manufacturing defect plain as day.
