Automotive RepairDiagnostics & Troubleshooting4HighOwner$ implied

Brake lights on a 2019 VW Atlas stop working after water damage to tail light assemblies, and even after replacing parts and verifying signals with a diagnostic tool, the problem persists with no fault codes.

Existing diagnostic tools like OBDeleven can read live data and adaptations but cannot guide a DIY mechanic step-by-step through complex electrical troubleshooting involving multiple components (BCM, wiring, connectors) when no fault codes are present.
