Q: Brake light not working on passenger side

asked by on December 10, 2016

My brake light isn't working on passenger side. But right signal works when I click it on. Took it to Goodyear they say it's an electrical problem, not the fuse or the bulb. So is this easy to fix and how long will it take to fix it? Thank you.
