hello all. I have an 07 ram 1500 w/ hemi and this morning i went to drive my truck and got in and started it hit the brakes to put it in gear, and it started dinging at me. so i got out had some hit the brakes and noticed my brakelights were not working, but the third brake light is. Any ideas why this is happening?? Please help. the bulbs are fine but there is no power coming through the wires to the bulb... HELP thank you

Check to see if there is any fuses for the tail lights and the possibility of bad bulbs, also see if there are any codes showing up, but lately there have been a rash of Tipm's going bad, hope that isn't what it is. Good luck.

My first thought when seeing light issues and an 07 is the TIPM but I need to read up some in the Srvc Man to see what all lights the TIPM covers.

so i pulled out the tail light and checked the bulb socket with a test light. no power to the socket. checked the brake switch and the seems to works fine. I now also have a turn signal out, but i notice that it is just the bulb.
