regarding taillights

[4UH8ERS]

Hey guys I have a problem with 1 sides brake lights not working. Both parking lights work and the drivers side brake light works but not the passenger side brake light.

Let me tell you what has been done already in the attempt to solve the problem:

1. all fuses good

2. changed stoplamp relay

3. all new bulbs.

4. followed wires from bulbs all the way to fuse box and no shorts!

5. replaced the small taillight wiring harness that has the bulb sockets with it.

A few questions i have are:

Would my actual brake switch make only 1 taillight not work? is that possible.

Can my multi-function switch effect my brakelights?

Before i changed the small harness on the back of the taillight the parking light would come on, then go off when i applied brakes. Now that i got the new harness, when i brake that passenger side parking light will remain lit, but i still have no brake light on the one side.

The same thing happened on my talon. Check the contacts that touch the bulb. One of mine wasn't bent up enough so it wasn't in contact with the bulb so it would not light the brake filament when I pressed the brakes.

Sorry if that was a little confusing. Take the bulb out and look in there and you should know what I am talking about.

Thank you, I will check that to be safe, but I doubt thats the problem. You see the harness and the three sockets are new. It's all the bulbs on one side, not just one bulb thats not working. I might have been confusing on the post, I am sorry.

Thanks again for the response i will keep you updated when i check that.

ok i fixed my first post, so not to confuse anyone else. I see exactly why you gave me that idea. I originally wrote iI had one brakelight out I meant One whole side of brake lights.
