Tail/Brake Light replacement problem
I haven't visited in a while and I notice that searching is now only for paid members. Unfortunately I am in a pinch tonight. I am trying to fix a burnt tail light and I purchased and installed the replacement bulb tonight. The new bulb works fine as a tail lamp when I turn on the lights, but the brake light does not activate. The other brake light (pass. rear) and the spoiler mounted 3rd both do. I checked fuses and they are in order. WHat else could this be?
TIA to those of you surfing this evening.

I had a similar issue simply because I did not push the bulb into the socket hard enough.
Those bulbs contacts come out of the bulb and are bent over. Once i had one that was bent over the wrong way, so compare that part to another known working bulb.

It worked! Yeah. Okay, now I can go fire up the snow blower and clear the driveway. Oh what a beautiful night here in the northeast.
Thanks again Mick & MacAlert.
