Left brake light

[kaizr]

Frequently, I get the left brake light out error in my dash. I know the bulb itself is not dead because I have tested this and occasionally it does in fact work. The other day I pulled out the unit and took every bulb out and reinserted it to see if that was it. I checked the wiring and all of it seemed sound plugging into the back. So how come it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't? Is there an easy fix? Maybe the bulb connection is dirty and I could just replace the bulb..but waht if that doesn't work? This first happened for a few days about a year ago and then went away until just this past week.

Mine does that too sometimes, but smacking the ass seems to fix it.

I have been getting that the last couple day, come on speratically and turns off by its self???

Anybody got an answer? Looks like I'm not the only one with this problem.

I've had that same problem in the last couple of weeks. I havent done anything about it but If it keeps happening i'm just gonna get a new bulb.

mine was doing that, i replaced the bulb and now it works fine, it was the right side though... bad contact maybe?

hmm. I've got a few spares in the truck maybe I'll just do that. Few things more annoying that missing lights on a vehicle.
