Brake Light problem
Need some help on this guys. I done a lot of research on the forum on this and can't figure this out
Problem:
My right side brake light is out.
Symptons:
When hazard lights are on only the left side comes on.
Hit the brakes only left side comes on and middle light.
Left or right blinker both sides work.
Actions taken:
Replaced hazard switch.
Replace bulbs.
hit the button behind the brake pedal for the circuit test.
What should I do next? Any fuses that I can toy with or switch off to check.
Thanks guys.

had the exact same problem... then all of the sudden it just started working again. Would be nice to know whats going on so I can correct it when it starts back up again...
they started working before I ever tried this but was told to turn the hazards on/off a dozen times...

I believe the wiring bundle for the rear lights runs underneath the car on the passenger side. Check up in/over the pass wheelwell area. The bundle is wrapped and contains a connector which can loosen or corrode and cause some problems. Also part of the bundle at that point can contact the frame and overtime fray the insulation. You may want to check that area before you start on the steering column. You said only only left hazard comes on so, turn on hazards and have someone watch right rear to see if it comes on while you turn/twist/ manipulate the aforementioned wiring bundle. Hope this helps. (rear wheelwell-pass side)

Check that as well and it appears just fine. I will play with the wires a little more and see if it a bad connection somewhere.
