Tail light problem

My brake light is not working. I have tried everything. Cleaned the bulbs... all of them even the interior ones. All fluids are up to proper levels. Tire pressure is good, lug nuts are tight. Any suggestions??

Dumb question, but have you verified the bulb itself is good? Swapped it to with one that works?

If you are going to the trouble to take the tail light assembly off to look at the bulbs don't bother with swapping them, change them all!


When I used to have stock tail lights the stupid bulbs would burn out with maddening regularity.


(Or you could get the Raxiom Gen 5 LED taillights and never worry about burned out bulbs again... )

I filled the bulb with the fluid and it still didn't work. Is there a different fluid for the brake lights?

Hey at least you don't have this guy's problems. There is all sorts of gayness going on here.

I had a problem with a bad socket once in an aftermarket sequential harness. I bought another socket from an autoparts place, soldered it in, and all good now. Of course having the proper brake light fluid level is required LOL.
