Right break light doesn't work
1969. I have both tail lights and the left brake light. Both turn signals work. The dark green wire for the right turn signal is the same for the break light, so I know the wire has continuity. I tested the wire inside the car behind the seat. When I pushed the break pedal, my test light comes on, so the switch is working. Does anyone have any idea why the brake light is not working?

New bulb with clean socket. What I don't get is the turn signal works so the wiring and the bulb are OK. The brake light swich is working. I just can't get the right brake light to come on. Frustrating

Your turn signal switch might have failed. The left and right brake lights split from the common feed to individual wires at the switch. Try flipping the signals a bunch with the brakes on while watching to see if the light comes on or at least flickers.

You're probably pressing the brake pedal too far to the left, try pressing it more toward the middle, so each brake light gets an equal shot of brake light fluid, and let us know how that works.
I'm sorry, I just couldn't resist. I tried, but I just couldn't.
