Brake light issues
 

Evening all,

Recently got my hands on a 92 Civic CX Hatch. Bone stock. Great little daily for sure.

Have a few electrical gremlins that I'm trying to track down.

The main one at the moment is my brake lights. My left one works. The high center probably has a bad bulb, but I can't get it out to replace it. Whatever. The passenger side bulb does not light for the brakes.

Parking lights work all around. I was thinking a ground issue at first, but given I get the parking light, I doubt that's the issue. My guess is power isn't getting to the brake light. I need to get a test light and see if I'm getting power.

Now, the shift light comes on when I press the brake pedal. This only happens so long as ignition is set to on. Not sure if someone hacked the harness or if it's just a ground / wiring issue elsewhere. I do need to give the battery posts a good cleaning.

Any thoughts or ideas?

Never mind. I found the culprit. Missing a contact in the light socket. That might cause a problem. ;)
