My brake light quit working on the driver side I changed the bulb it still does not work. I changed the socket and it still does not work. But, the signal, tail light and flasher on that side all work fine. What could be wrong?

Hey David,

This sounds like you have trun signal switch that is out. But before you replace it, try hitting the emergency flashers. What happens is the contacts in the switch get a little corroded and will stop the brake lights from working on one side.

Let me know what happens.

Best, Ken
