Tail light problems..
Okay so I know this sounds weird.. But my left tail break light isn't fully functioning. By that I mean is that it still works! But not for turn singnals, breaking, and hazards.. The right one works perfectly! Actually every single light works perfectly. Except that one light. What could be the problem? I've never heard of this happening. Could it be the connection?
Forgive me for being an *******, but did you check the bulb?
Turn signal switch is different than a hazard switch, so it doesn't sound like a switch is at fault. Also check the fuses, relay (I forgot if there is one) and the socket of the light to make sure the wires didn't become corroded and break off the socket input.
These are a 2 filliment bulbs, meaning parking lamps (also headlights on) will be a lower brightness than brakes or turn signals. If the parking light works, but turning, braking, and hazards, that probably means 1 filliment in that bulb is burnt, but the other (parking lights and headlights) is not.
