  • Brakelight Hell

    Ok.

    My Left side tail light.

    97 model, with 97 tail lights.

    the bulb will work when im not pressing the break, but when i press the break it doesnt work, it just cuts off.

    and now the turn signal light doesnt work either.

    any explanation why?

    have you tried replacing the bulb? It could be that one of the filiments in the bulb is out, and hte bulb is in backwards, so that the brake light will be on when your running lights are on, but goes to the none working running light when the brakes come on?

        My neighbor just got a 96 Trans AM and this was her problem. Somehow when she bought new bulbs she put those in backwards also.

        Are the lights inop for turn signal and hazard lights? If one way it works and one way it doesn't you could have a flasher bad.

        Could be two diffrent problems but I'd bet on the lights installed backwards and it fixes both problems.

          You have a bad ground in one of the sockets.
