My driverside break light shines bright while my headlights are off, or the vehicle is off. When i turn the lights on and apply the break pedal my brake light goes off. The bulb works, the fuse is not busted, and the passenger side is fine . Where could the problem be?

see my profile.......this is a general way to check your or similar light issues.....this particular one was a signal light on another vehicle.......answer to another one of my facinating posts.

Tell me if I help......like that "BACK PATTING"

PASTING.......


POSSIBLE HELP ??!!--------See my profile--------

INSURE your bulbs (all that may be involved) are all the way in..... CORRECTLY!!!! (NOT just jammed in any old way)-------

If NO-GO-------run temporary jumper from NEG GRD BATT to-------- housing/ NEG on wire/ to bulb/ touch GRD screws/ etc. that would ground that system---

TOUCH ONLY-ONLY-ONLY GROUNDS !!!!!!!!!!......If one of these operations makes it work........Repair that problem.(GROUND)......Like I said, "POSSIBLE HELP"

Love, Turddog
