I replaced the bulb with the excact replacement. Still no right brake light. What else should i look at? The socket is like new and there is no rust or corrosion issue around the socket. The taillight is within the same bulb and it works. What else is there to look for to fix this? 2005 Roadster with 40k miles
Thanks

 

You may have used the wrong bulb, or the bulb you bought is defective (yes, it happens). You can screw around and waste time all you want to, or, you can take the easy way out:
Trade bulbs between left and right. Does the problem follow the bulb or stay with the socket? This way, you know if it's the bulb or not. If it's not the bulb, it's gotta be the socket.

Moved to appropriate forum.

 

Thanks , but there is no power at the brake light side of the socket, there is power at the running light side of the socket. changed bulbs as suggested and nothing
changed

 

How did you measure the "power" at the socket?

 

Brake light switch?

 

the brake light switch would effect only one brake light????

 

Could be damaged light socket,
