I've run into the same problem with the lamp out coming on/off for week or so before the bulb actually goes out. My problem is that I've changed out the same bulb twice in the last year. Now it's gone out again. It's the Left rear brake light. What's odd is that this is a 2 element bulb and one element never burns out, just the one element for the brake. When i've changed it out in the past the socket looks good and it's a snug connection. My question now that it's happened again, is this a wiring issue or possilbly something within the piece that the 3 rear bulbs plug into. Any ideas?

Thanks!

 

have u checked your 3rd brake light bulb?

 

yep, actually just had a guy I work with go out with me and pump the brakes. It's the same left rear brake again. signal lights work, 3rd brake, plate lights all look good.

 

Find your chime box under the dash and see if it will come apart. If so then take the speaker out of the box and everything will still work like normally but it wont make anymore noise. Just make sure your shut your lights off and keep checking your gauges, cause if anything happens then you wont hear it trying to let you know.

 

I had the same issue with the left rear brake light. but I was getting moisture inside the taillight assembly. Fixed the leak and used some anti-corrosive goop and it seams to be doing better.

 

Good to know, I'll check for moisture and make sure it's sealed up tight. Hopefully it will fix it for good!
