Try it on the other side to see if it is the light or the socket that is the problem.
If it's the socket, make sure the ground is working. Use a voltmeter to see if you have power at the contact point.
Think of it as having fun. You'll get it.

2000 Acura 3.5 RL suddenly has no tail lights or tag lights. Brake, reverse and blinker all work. Checked fuses-all appear fine. Decided to replace bulbs and noticed front right marker light out so changed...

The only thing that both the brake lights and tail lights use is a ground connection. Keep in mind the warning light on the dash may be for any exterior lamp. You may need to check the sockets and grounds on all four corners of the car.

Why are the taillights on my 1996 Acura RL still on after I turned off my car?

very common at the top of the brake pedal arm where the brake light switch plunger touches,there is a small metal angle there should be a small rubber stopper. what you are going to see is a hole ? IF so you can this little part from honda, or in a pinch a small nut and bolt threw the hole and adj.the brake light switch. either way you need a flash light and your going to be on your back in a tight space hope this helps ! let me know

1997 Acura 3.5 RL right brake light not working (all other rear lights - both left and right work). Changed bulb (two separate bulbs) and still not working. Checked all fuses under dash and hood. Is...

The problem is the socket. Remove the bulb and bend the tabs in the socket so they make contact with the bulb. If this doesn't work you will have to replace the socket. A wire is broke and they usually break at or in the plug.

Brake problem with Acura RL 3.5 mAASSTER CYLINDER

temp does not matter. when changing out brake components like master cylinder you need to bleed the brakes from air in the lines. you do this by having a freind pump brakes 5-7 times holding foot on brake last stroke then you open the bleeder screw on the calipers and close them. air and fluid will come out, bleed each caliper 2-3times.

Third brake light works then turns off even stepping on the brakes, sometimes it just blink. the main brake lights work fine.

I had the same problem on my 05 RL. I replace the brake switch($7.95) located at the brake pedal. problem solved.
