My driverside break light shines bright while my headlights are off, or the vehicle is off. When I turn the lights on and apply the break pedal my brake light goes off. The bulb works, the fuse is not busted, and the passenger side is fine. Where could the problem be?

See my profile. This is a general way to check your or similar light issues. This particular one was a signal light on another vehicle. Answer to another one of my facinating posts.

Tell me if I help. Like that "BACK PATTING"

PASTING.

POSSIBLE HELP !See my profile

INSURE your bulbs (all that may be involved) are all the way in. CORRECTLY! (NOT just jammed in any old way)

If NO-GOrun temporary jumper from NEG GRD BATT to housing/ NEG on wire/ to bulb/ touch GRD screws/ etc. That would ground that system---

TOUCH ONLY-ONLY-ONLY GROUNDS. If one of these operations makes it work. Repair that problem.(GROUND). Like I said, "POSSIBLE HELP"
