Psych0matt Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 So, my passenger side brake light is disfunctional. I replaced the bulb when a friend told me it was out. Weird thing is that it lights up normal with running lights, and flashes with the blinker on, but doesn't light up the second filament when I hit the brakes. Is the blinker function just an interruption of the first filament? Both bulbs had both filaments intact, so I'm not sure where to go from here. Also, fuse 23 (stop lamp) is good.

94 olds vert Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 I agree. My CS sometimes has a brake light issue. Jiggle the turn signal and all is well again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psych0matt Posted March 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Try the turn signal switch. I have the same problem with my monte right now. I jiggled the stalk and it seems to be working again. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertISaar Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 i've had the same problem off and on since....... 2005ish. sometimes, left turn signal requires pulling back slightly on the stalk as you switch it into position, otherwise loss of all rear lights. these things are seriously defective, i don't think the aftermarket ones are any better either from what i've seen.
