Brake light probem!!!!

[HondaFreak]

Ok so my tail lights work when i turn em on but when i press the brakes the passenger side outside corner tail light won't light up... I know its not the bulb or a fuse... what else could it be???

[bumpstick]

actually it probably is the bulb. your bulbs (1157?) have dual filaments, one for parking lights and one for brake lights. so in your case only the brake filament is burned out.

Naw it's not the bulb... because I switch that same bulb to the other side and it works fine
And yeah I know there's two and i thought the same thing...
But when I switched it to the other side it worked fine
It's pissing me off!
Thanks anyways though bro

sounds like a gremlin. good luck

did you check the wires.

I had the same problem with the tailights in my Teg...you need a new wiring harness...test it out, use the harness from the driver side and put it on the passenger side. I did all that and worked like a champ, so i bought a new wiring harness.

find out what wire on the pig tail opperates the brake light, then check it for 12vlts with the brake pedal pressed....

i would take a DVOM and probe the side that works so you know what color wire its gonna be when you do the other side.
just a thought.

Thanks for the help guys!
And yeah i was thinking it was the harness or a wire
Imma check 'em both
I appreciate the help everyone
