2005 license plate light replacement

How do I access the light to change the bulbs. Both flickered ad would stay on with a good bang on the tailgate but are out now. The chrome cover seems to be in the way. Thanks

TPMS light

my light will come on while driving to work at about the same distance on most days. it doesn't blink it just comes on and stays on until i turn the car off and will stay off when restarted.

Any idea what might be wrong? faulty sensor?

2005 wheel bearing replacement

i just got 4 new tires and had them check out a noise in the front end. Right front is fried and the left is starting to go. I think the bearings are pressed into the rotors? Anyone know of a write up on how to do this or should ijust take to the shop?

worn parking brake?

So im at the ramp with the jetski and engage the parking brake. I let off the brake so the ebrake takes the pressure and not the tranny. Well it keep on rolling. i disengage and then reengage thinking it was a fluke.

Any good ideas on how to address this?
