First replace the turn signal light bulb. If that does not work check the voltage at the signal light bulb socket .there should be 12 volts there when youput on theleft turn signal. Normally thefuse for the signal should be for theleft and rightturn signal system. Sinceright turn signal is fune then it cannoy be the fuse.
some bulbs have dual filaments in them. One for tail lights and the other for brake/blinker lights.
Many times one element will burn out but the other will still work.
Try replacing the bulbs.....assuming you have already checked the fuse for the brake lights. (many cars have the stop and back up lights on the same fuse)
Pastor Norman, Pastor Dave here. Since you already replaced the left rear brake light bulb and that didn't help, please take that bulb socket out again as you did before, and find a way to test the bulb contact for electricity when the brake lights are on. You should get 12 volts out of the "hot" metal contact. If the other two lights are on, and you have no current in the socket, you either have a bad socket, or a broken wire somewhere. One way is to go back a few inches and skin off the insulation of the brake light wire and see if there is current back a few inches from the socket. Cover with tape when you finish. If you decide to cobble a solution, you could run a good wire from the other brake light that works and splice it in to the dead wire. Be Blessed.
If you put the tester on the outlets and it lights up properly but the bulbs dont, you have already concluded that the wiring isn't the problem. unless of course the wires are corroded and simply putting the bulb in shorts it out. Have you tested the bulbs?
Hi
Every single time I have had a failure of low beam in a headlight without failure of high beam, it has been because the lamp bulb or halogen lamp module has reached the end of its serviceable life, not because of any wiring problems. Low beam burns out first because it is on the most. If low beam is lost simultaneously in both headlights, I would check fuse first, then the headlight switch. If low beam is lost on one side only, it is almost always going to be due to the bulb or lamp module needing to be replaced. In that case, replace them in both headlights because the other one will be going kaput in short order, as well.Also if you already replaced the fuse and bulb check the headlight dimmer control switch. Thanks for using Fixya.
thats a missing ground on that light socket thats not working properly .. it can also be caused by a defective bulb even if new (not in your case since you have already changed the bulb)
all you have to do is pull at this point. sometimes they get a little "stuck" in there so move up and down until the bulb comes loose. be sure not to touch the new bulb with bare fingers. if you can, get latex gloves to do this. simply install the new one reversing all the steps you already told me. cheers
