Default RT Side Brake lights nt wrking

Hey guys,

My right side break lights are not working. I have removed the lenses and checked the bulbs and they are fine.

Regular night lights work fine.

Any suggestions on the best place to start looking for possible cause?

Thanks, in advance, for your help.

Try your 4 way flasher or turn signals. If they work fine, you will need to check the electrical schematic. I am not familiar with Corvette wiring, but worked on police cars for years. Usually with this problem, especially high mileage cars, the problem was in the turn signal switch and you could check it by wiggling the switch lever or moving the 4 way flasher switch. On all the ones I have seen, power goes through the brake light switch, and then through the turn signal switch and then to the bulbs. This is where I would start my search. Good luck!
