I pulled my tails off and tinted them, Now I've always known that the three wires going to the brake/blinker light bulb in the passenger side tail light have been spliced because of the butt connectors in plain view. I didn't know why though. So to make a long story short, I have never had any problems with the tails or blinkers except for replacing a couple bulbs. but this is where I'm at now
So when I went to check all the lights to make sure they were working they all looked good except for when I hit the brakes , none of the bulbs got brighter on the passenger side. I swapped bulbs with the other side and it did the same thing. Nothing changed on the passenger side when I hit the brakes, and the bulb I swapped to the driver side was working fine. so I look at the bulb wiring going to the specific bulb and the three wires going to the bulb have been spliced.. so i figured it was just a bad connection, I stripped them down and reconnected them. Still nothing , all the bulbs are working , its just that the one bulb on the passenger side doesn't get brighter when the brake is applied. any help?? I know the bulb is good because If I swap it with the working tail light on the other side the problem stays on the passenger side, all 3 connections (Black,Brown,Green) where the wires were previously spliced are secure, Do I need to trace the green wire back until I find a broken connection?
EDIT: Nevermind I would have to remove the tail panel to trace the wire.. Can I just splice 1 wire from the working side?? It seems to be the easy way out
So I spliced a wire in from the left side bulb that was getting brighter to the right side bulb and now I have brake lights, but now when I turn my left blinker on both tails blink, and nothing happens when I use my right blinker. this has turned into a pita. any help would be appreciated.
