It sounds like you have the wrong type of bulb in there. I'd replace the bulb with a known good size.

SOURCE: 1996 Lincoln Continental : Instructions given by others=dont work

The sides of the third light inside of the car have plastic revits in each side looking carefully with a bright flashlight you can see them the center of the rivit can be pushed in about an eighth Inch and the rivit can be pryed out. onece the rivets are out the whole light will come off its mount. Watch as you do this as you need to put it back.turn it over and change the bulbs. The owners manual in the maintaince section tels the way and it's called the high mount brake light

SOURCE: No brake light or hazard warning flashers in rear

It appears to be the mutifunction switch. (Turn signal control). That, plus the 3 words in parenthesis wil come to 699.00 bucks. then we add the switch.... Just kidding. The multi finction switch is defective and about to fail altogether.. Sorry.

SOURCE: break lights not working but turn signals working

PROBLEM COULD BE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH. MOST CARS TURN SIGNAL SWITCH AND BRAKES LIGHT SHARE SAME CIRCUIT.

My left turn signal flashes rapidly after applying the break

Check your bulbs sound like one is burnt out, or it is not properly grounded. Good luck.

Rear Turn signal is not working

Aren't your brake lights and turn signal lights on the same bulb, same filament? Recheck the bulb in the rear, as the rapid blinking is an indication of a burnt out bulb. If the bulb is the correct one and is good, check the connector and socket at the housing for a loose or poor connection.

1998 chevy lumina: rear window brake light not working, left brake light not working, rear left turn signal not working

See if bulbs have burnt out in the left brake light and rear turn signal (one bulb if combined) and also rear center high mount brake light.

If the left turn signal has a slower speed than the right turn signal, this is a symptom of a bulb or bulbs burnt out.

Usually, the wiring is not a problem, but I would not rule wiring (or sockets) as a problem out.

Good luck on this repair.

What do the relays and fuses look like under the hook of a 96 s 10 blazer. Someone said to check theses and how do you. My brake lights dont work and the 10A fuse under the dash is good and i replaced the...

Did you check or replace the brake light bulbs?
It is more common to have burnt bulbs than a bad brake light switch or blown fuse.
Do you have orange signal lights and red brake lights at the rear?
Then the signal light switch will not affect the brake lights.....but....
If they are all red and you use the same bulbs for brake and signal....the brake light wiring goes through the signal light switch and could be affected there.
First....check for power getting to the brake light switch......and leaving it with a test light.......then go to the rear....pull a light assembly and check for power getting to the bulbs.no power? follow the wiring back to the switch looking for a bad connection.
The fuses and relays under the hood are usually in a black plastic box labeled fuses and or relays.

The rear break rigth side is not working but the other side yes

All th tail lights are the same type. However, the push-in socket that they attach to ,if there is not a real good connection, it gets too hot and melts the bulb base and the light socket. Remove the tail light assembly with a phillips driver. 1 screw and the assembly is removed by pulling it straight back while pressing the areas where there are molded plastic clips. pull the bulb straight out and examine the area where the wires are., Both the bulb and the socket. if they appear to be melted to the plastic, they need replaced, or can be temporary made to work by using a pair of needle-nose-pliers, or tweesers to position the wire in the proper place to make contact, untill a replacement is available. Note the bulb type when you remove it, and replace with the same type...OK The bulb isn't burned out, is it??...Look at the elements in the bulb. If one is broken, the little wire element will be separated inside the bulb. It needs to be replaced Thank you...OK
