i cleared out my tail lights recently...and when i step on the brake, the warning light comes on saying the brakes arent lighting up...but they actually are

does anyone know what might be tripping this up? i noticed this black housing with wires going into it when i took out the left tail light...does that have something to do with it?

please help!!

THANX

Check to make sure the 3rd brake light is coming on too. Oher then that there should be no other reason.

it turns out its the right brake light....but thats how it was...and then it worked again

but now its broken again...is it the bulb? should i get a new bulb or just take it out and plug it back in to see if that helps?

get a new bulb. i had the same problem a week ago. for some reason the right side parking/brake bulb malfunctioned. sometimes it turned on sometimes it didn't and i had the brake lamp warning turn on. i just replaced the bulb and the problem went away

haha....good luck with the stain glass paint....make sure you replace that bulb as soon as you get $2 more. there's nothing worse than a car with blown bulbs.
