Left rear turn sig/brake light not working


Recommended Posts

Like many owners, I've had both of the rear turn signal sockets burn due to piss poor design. I've replaced both.

 

Now my left rear/brake light isn't working. I've switched the light sockets AND I've replaced the connector. And then switched out the sockets.

 

Still no go.

 

Is this a known issue? If so, is it something that can be fixed at home or does it require a shop's raping?

Did you check the CHMSL? Sometimes the wiring is connected.

 

 

I looked up CHMSL--that's the center light, right? It's connected and works. What else should I look for?

 

Oh, and on the asking part. I understand completely!

I just realized that I forgot to mention a very important bit of information: The running light on that socket works, but the turn/brake signal does not. The front left turn signal works.

 

Does this make a difference? There is power to the socket.

Is it the same bulb? If so then make sure you have the right bulb with 2 filaments (I'd verify the part number and replace it just to be safe). Otherwise check both wires for power at the socket.

 

 

Yup. Same bulb. I can put it into the right side socket and it works, both brake/turn and running light. Put it in the left socket and only the running light works.

 

I'll break out the multimeter.
