99 Dodge caravan one brake light not come on. The bulb is good. What could it be?
The right bulb works and the center brake light one works. It's getting power to the left mount but some how the signal isn't getting there. Is a separate signal sent from the brake switch to both brake lights or is it sent together.
Also, I am fully retarded, IQ of about 80 and really need clear instructions as I'm board certified idiot. I paid someone who is literate to write this for me.

Unless you understand how to test electrical circuits, this may be something you sub out to someone else. You need to test for power and ground coming into the pigtail at that light.
