So your taillights should have 2 bulbs in them. 1 that turns on when you turn your lights on and stays on until you turn them off. That same bulb should have a 2nd circuit that lights up when you press on your brakes. The 2nd bulb appears when your reverse gear is engaged. So if you have no lights on right you have to replace both bulbs and if you have no brake light on the left you just have to replace your rear brake light bulb.
Any idea's ? Yes , learn how these system's work ! Looking at wiring diagram's to see what all is involved in the electrical circuit's for the brake & turn signal lamps . Plus learning how to test electrical circuit's with a DVOM - digital volt ohm meter . Electric Testing Techniques You Need to Know
Testing is how to find this problem , not going by someone guessing who has not even looked at the vehicle ! Free wiring diagram's here http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html Enter vehicle info. year , make , model an engine size . Under system click on lighting ,then under subsystem click on stop lamp or turn signals . Take your DVOM an at the rear right stop lamp bulb test for B+ voltage , check ground side . See which side of the circuit has the problem . Mastering Voltage Drop Testing with Pete Meier and Jerry Truglia
make sure you changed the correct bulb (it happens). turn on the other side to be sure. you may also have a defective new bulb (that happen too) lots of cheap electrical parts out there!
More than likely its the bulb, the bulb has two filements, one for brake and one for turn signal, If you take it out and hold it up to a light, i bet youll find with a close look one filiment is broken!
you have a left side turn signal out in the front or back replace bulb the reason why your bilnkers wont blink is because your flasher relay is bad the relay will be located n the fuse panel under the drivers dash any auto parts store should have the light and the relay in stock replace both of those and youll be in buisness
If the driver's side tail light is working, it's not a fuse. Use a test light to check for power at the bulb holder. One terminal will be for tail light, the other for brake/turn light. If the is constant power for tail light, replace bulb. If no power, trace wiring from bulb holder to driver's side junction. Probable broken wire between the two tail lights.
You will need to start tracing the wiring. I have found "green" wiring in these vehicles for many electrical problems. Start at the front and work your way back.
