brake light system issues..90 LX

[(406)cb7]

Here's my situation lol...keep in mind all bulbs and fuses are brand new as I've tried replacing them all..

Tail lights and blinkers light up just fine, but only my drivers side tail light brightens when I brake. My back window brake light does not work either. Is this the old wiring thats gone to hell or is there anything else I can check? A relay? A short somewhere?

Thanks alot!

That sounds like a wiring problem. You might have a broken connection somewhere between the pass and thrid brake light and the main body harness.

Definitely check your connectors. They corrode very easily if a little water gets in them and the pins get a bunch of crap on them. Clean them all up and see if that helps

Wow! I have the exact same problem. Did you ever find a solution?

Has anyone tried replacing the little black or brown box on the outside tail lights? those cause issues as well

[accordracer89]

i had that problem and mine was a wire that came loose from the fuse box...maybe try that

Any other solutions? My car is doing this too. Parking lights work fine, turn signals work fine, but none of the brake lights work. fuses are good, bulbs are good.

brake light signal goes to the little box in the driver side tail light first, and then goes to the other 2 lights.

your brown box is either bad, or you have a wiring short somewhere in the rear.

If none of them work, there's a good chance it's the switch at the brake pedal.

I have a similar problem.

My third brake light always stays lit. It will brighten when I push on the brakes like the other 2 do at night, but its always lit.

Also if I have the lights off and hit the brakes, my 2 front turns signals stay lit solid.

Very weird.

It's probably the main connector at the right outer lens. Mine was the same way when I got it. My answer was to cut off the factory plug and use male & female connects. Everything works now as it should!

These are very close to what I used. Insulated 1/4" connectors
