I recently got my windows tinted. After the car was returned to me i got the "stop/tail"warning light. I figured it was only a coincidence and i'd get whichever bulb it was replaced once i got my brake job done the same weekend. Well after the brake job and new bulb the light went out again the next day. The the stop light fuses aren't blown and the bulb doesn't appear to be blown either. What is causing this and how do I fix it

The correct bulb typs is 7440. Is that what you are using?

Yes

The bulb in the picture might be bad. Usually the filament goes straight across without any change in the straight line. Flick the bulb with your finger and see if it waves around, which would mean a bad bulb.

If the bulb is good but doesn't light up, you probably have a bad connection.

The window tint people probably took the brake light off and may have pulled on the wires too hard. Try wiggling/pulling/pushing on the wires going into the socket while someone is stepping on the brake pedal and see what happens.

The wire that goes into the connector sees. I used electrical tape and changed the bulb(it did blow out)

I don't know what you mean by "The wire that goes into the connector sees."

But it sounds like you got it fixed. Yes?

Oops the conector that goes to the bulb, one of those wires did seem loose. I had some one push on the brakes while i wiggled the wire and the bulb flickered.

If it flickers that means that you found your problem. Fix the wire and you will be good to go.
