Rear tail light problem

[cm92]

only just got a 97 prelude, and it appears that on one the rear tail lights, has no power going to it. the other side is working fine. any suggestions??

did you check the globe?

check if the globe socket is getting voltage?

check wiring between the two sides?

i changed the globe to see if it was just blown.. wasnt that. there is no voltage going to the socket
so would it just be a wiring issue then?

[Bludger]

change both globes... check

which side is not getting voltage? check wiring between left and right lights.

i just went and double checked everything.. its the left side...the normal tail lights are working, but when i put my foot on the brake, the left brake light isnt coming on, but the tail light does

chinese bulbs can cause weird malfunctions/shorts.

I would replace the globes with good branded ones and if your problem persists,

it must be the wiring between the left and right.

normally the loom travels down the right side if the car,

backtrace the wiring from the tail light.

might be as simple as a short 10cm back from the light.
