Electrical: Brake light problem

[AndrewNe]

So my brake light came on. My running lights work, my left brake light works but my back window brake light and my right brake light don't work. It's not the bulb, its beyond that. Anyone with similar problems? Solutions?

Possible bad brake light switch??? The one under the brake pedal?

Try the little boxes in the outer tails. They're notorious for going out. I had a similar issue with mine, but only my drivers side outer worked. Come to find out both of the little boxes were bad. Fixed those, no issues

Last time I looked at the wiring diagram for that, I THINK the right side does control that third brake light. It could have simply came unplugged because that happened to me a while back. But its definately that box on the right you are having problems with.

But what about the one in my back window?

Anyone?

The the box in the right tail light controls the third brake light in your window.

Yea if you study the wiring diagrams in the haynes manual you will notice the right control box powers that 3rd brake light. Did you see if it was plugged in?

[AndrewNe]

So it's my right brake light. I dont see anything visably wrong everything is plugged in

Ok well you see the box thats mounted on the rear of the tail light? THAT right there is whats bad. It needs replacement with parts from the junkyard.
