When my lights are off all 3 of my brake lights come on when I apply the brakes. When the lights are on the rear light behind the driver goes out and the brake light does not come on. What might be the problem? Grounding, short, or something else?

Hi there,

Thank you for the donation,

I would start to check for a bad earth in the light sockets and also check for corrosion in the sockets and at the loom plug for that light, start here.
