Electrical problem
1996 Nissan Sentra Automatic 130000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
On the driver-side, my indicator lights work fine on their own (although the back tail light flashes when I signal), and the brake lights work fine on their own (although the back tail light is a little dim). When I brake and signal together nothing works. I've tried new bulbs, cleaning connections, etc. Is this a short somewhere deep in the wiring system? Any suggestions?

Hi prmusa,

You have a bad wire grounding at the rear lights.
