Both the running lights and brakes light work. When you have running on, the right brake light does not turn on? Also the right turn signal is not working. Perplexed

Good afternoon.

It sounds like you have a bad ground. when you have the running lights on and then press the brakes, if you have a bad connection to ground, the lights will not work.

Look at the wiring back at the light and make sure the connectors are clean and tight. there should be a ground wire coming off the light assembly to inside the rear area. check that connection for any corrosion.
