My brake lights work but my right rear tail light doesn't come on when I turn on my lights. The light works when I use my brakes. All fuses are good and all of the rest of the lights work just fine. I also checked the connections and everything seems fine there too. Thanks for your help

sounds like you have a blown bulb.if the bulb is shared with the brake lights it could have one filament blown and one good.check the bulb and if you can't tell by eye,swap the bulbs from side to side and see if the issue follows the bulb.

Thanks Homer. I checked all of the bulbs and they are all working. After I switched them around neither of my tail lights work. The bulbs work when the brake is pushed. All fuses are good so I'm not sure what else to do. Thanks again for your help.
