So I noticed my right rear brake bulb and middle rear brake light bulbs were burnt out, so i changed both them. When i pressed the brake only the left side light up??? the right and middle brake light

The only thing I can think of is a fuse, but figured they would all be run from the same one. You might want to check it out though. If that isnt it, maybe the wiring?

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.

1998 Lincoln Town Car: No turn signals, 4 way flash, brake lights

If only your brake light in middle of rear window works then your other bulbs are bad. If brake lights all work in the back than bulbs are good. If you put turn signal on right or left and the bulbs light in front and back then you need to change multifunction light control box under dash. My understanding is it cost $600 new. So I would try used.

Right rear brake light still out after replacement with new bulb.

Well, the first this to do is get a test light and have someone depress the brake pedal while you check for power at the bulb socket. If you have power, the next step is to check the ground. Just hook your test light to power and see if the light comes on when you touch the ground part of the light socket. In my experience, most light issues are caused by a ground problem. If the ground turns out to be the issue, you can cheat and just run a short jumper ground wire from the light socket to a ground anywhere near the light.
