|

My right rear brake light blinks when the right blinker is on. Has done this since i bought it. I checked the wiring and everything looks factory nothing hacked up. The left one works like it should with no issue. The right side the blinker bulb looks to be a little dimmer than the left side. Any ideas? |

I would start by cleaning all the ground connections (the ones to all the back/side lights) shiny clean. If that fails move on to the other spade connections. Also check for corrosion on the bulbs and tabs inside bulb socket. _________________ Keep on Busin'

As said, your problem is bad grounds. Clean everything up well and coat all the contact surfaces with a thin smear of dielectric grease. |
