So here's my issue: My passenger side brake light doesn't work whenever I press the brake. The driver side and third brake light come on and work just fine, and the lights come on both sides at night. I replaced the bulb thinking the high beam for the brake light on it was blown, but the issue remains with the new bulb as well. Does anyone have any idea why only 1 brake light would go out but the bulb would still work when the lights come on at night? I thought maybe the brake switch, but then both brake lights would not work. Any solutions or things for me to check would be greatly appreciated as I am stumped at the moment.
Seems to me it would be the bulb also but, if it's not it sounds like an electrical problem.Check your fuses but i'm pretty sure that the same fuse runs both rear brake lights.
Before you go through all that trouble try unscrewing the assembly and disconnect/connect the harness plugs back together. My buddy had that problem and some how one of the plugs had just worked its self loose. Hasn't had trouble since.
Awesome, I will try the harness thing when I get my truck back. Just dropped it off to have a leveling kit put on it (pics will be posted soon) I failed to mention that I had already checked the fuses and all were in good shape. I found another topic on another site where a guy had the same issue with his silverado except it was on the left side and he had replaced his hazard relay box as it had gone bad. Here's to hoping its just the harness plug :|
yeah, the taillight on that side works and the light blinks bright whenever i hit the unlock button on my remote. but when i press the brake pedal it wont light up like the left side does. its like the light works for everything else but theres no signal response from it when the pedal is depressed.
Check all the fuses. I think there are some extra ones under the hood labeled trailer. I remember something odd about extra fuses being used for when you tow. Other than that I'd say check it the old fashoned way and trace the wires with a lest light and an ohm meter. Good luck.
i have the same issue on my truck the passenger brake light does not work but the driver one does. the only thing is my signal lights work but the driver signal light is on top and the passenger signal light is in the middle did u fix your issue?
Change the bulbs, check the sockets, check the fuses, then get a test light and start testing using a wiring diagram. If you are not able to do any testing, take it to a shop.
One trouble spot on these is the rear junction block behind the bumper.
Has anyone been able to solve this? I'm having the exact same issue on my 2006 driver side.
