The drivers side brake light is very dimmed when the brakes are applied. The left trun signal light does not work. All bulbs have been replaced. The right side brake and turn signal lights are working just fine. Is this problem something interior in the taillight housing?
Thank you

Loose or bad ground will cause dimmed and faulty lighting. Inspect the wiring at the lamp housing to ensure it is grounded good.
