Honda Civic Brake light Problem

I have a 2005 Honda Civic LX. The passenger side brake light does not work, nor does the passenger rear turn signal. I changed the bulb and check the fuse and they are fine. The driver side works fine. What is the problem??

Replace all the bulbs on the passenger side.
If still don't light , check all the socket grounds for good ground.

SOURCE: 99 Chevy Tahoe... Rear turn signals, brake lights, and hazards

I had this problem, and to be honest, it happened to the left side about a week later...it's the board that the bulbs plug into...it's a very common problem with this model. So popular that you can normally get the socket board off the shelf at a parts store! it's extremely simple to replace, and I replaced all the bulbs at the same time!

1998 honda civic lx drivers side rear emergency brake cable spring is very loose

  1. Remove the screw covers, screws and parking brake trim cover.
  2. Turn the adjuster as needed to attain the proper adjustment.

Make sure the brakes do not drag when the parking brake lever is released.
  1. Reinstall the trim cover.
  2. Depress the pedal 2 notches.
  3. Tighten the adjusting nut at the pedal assembly until the rear brakes just begin to drag when rotated.
  4. Release the parking brake lever and check that the wheels do not drag when turned. The parking brake should engage in 3-5 notches when a force of 66 lbs. (294 Nm) is applied to the parking brake pedal.
  5. Lower the vehicle

No brake lights

Hello: There is a module for the rear lights on the inside of the rear fender (passenger side) check the connections. This module has a failure rate. Do the 4-way flashers work in the rear? Also the rear brake lights are wired through the signal light switch. You will have to diagnose it step by step.

1998 honda accord, with the headlights on the tail lights are on but turn signals do not work. if head lights are off turn signals work unless i apply the brake, if i apply the brake the brake lights work...

It sounds as if you have a bad earth to either one or both of your rear light clusters. If it only happens when you indicate in one direction then that is the offending side.

EF Civic Brake light turns off during braking w/lights on

The characteristic you described is almost always a ground connection that is not secure.

Check with an ohm meter the resistance between the ground at the light socket and the chassis of the car. Any resistance is an indication of a poor ground connection. Temporarily connect the return(ground) connection at the socket to the chassis using a jumper.

If all is correct with jumper in place determine poor connection location and repair.

Hope this helps?
