Q: My passenger brake light is not functioning.
My "Lamp Out" indicator is on. Checked all lights and found my passenger brake light was the cause. I replaced the bulb with a brand new bulb and it still did not come on. I checked the fuses and they are not blown. I removed the bulb, swapped it to the driver side to make sure the bulb was working. I removed the corresponding fuse and cleaned it and put it back. Brake light is still out. What is the next step?
My car has 140000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
