tail light bulb help

Post by mrprecidia »

One of my tail light bulbs is burned out. I changed it but, it still wont work. The wierd thing is when I push the break it works, but it won't stay on all the time. Can anyone shed some insight on this for me.

Thanks.

I'd be checking the earth continuity at both the tail and brake lights. Bad ground wires can make a lot of weird things happen.

Bad ground, or maybe a wire that is damaged at the connector.

is it both lights, just one, all? If it is one, it could be the connector, both tails maybe the wire where it connects together, or yeah, bad ground could do that too.

Also check the fuse.
