I just replaced my tail light harness and the "light sockets" for the tail light/brake lights with new ones. The issue is, something's not right! Here's what I'm seeing now that they're installed:
With just the brake pedal depressed, I get the left bulb bright and right bulb dim.
With only the headlights on, I get the left bulb dim and the right bulb bright.
With the brake pedal depressed and the headlights on, I get both sides bright.
With the brake pedal depressed and the headlights on and the left blinker on, I get the correct blinker going.
With the above listed and the right blinker on, there's no flash and they are both bright.
My head is hurting trying to figure out what is wrong where. The harness was plug and play...no splicing or nothing. The light sockets had to have the original "connector" spliced into them so they would plug into the harness. However, that shouldn't be the problem since the two wires that go into the socket that touch the bulb are only hot individually unless both the brakes are mashed and the headlights are on. Clear as mud?
