:angry4: I have to first say, have anyone ever had the problem with your brake lights working or not fully working except when i press the pedel to stop but only the passenger side rear lite only comes on and drivers side does not, and all the other functions work signal, park, flasher, except that driver side does not come on, i have changed out the the harness going to the stop lights, and checked the power to both lights to the bulbs, the right side has a brown wire, and the left side has a green wire and no power there, the only thing i have not changed is the the brake lite switch at the under dash brake pedal, but checked the power at the pink wire it is good there, and checked the turn signal at the steering wheele and the ground at the trunk lash, if anybody knows where to track down the green wire without having to pull the entire dash harness, Any body have any solutions or thoughts.
 
Probably so. Access the connector coming out of the steering column, and verify that you have power going INTO it coming FROM the brake light switch.

The left and right turn signal wires / filaments both work as brake and as turn. The signal switch routes that power according to the position selected on the TS switch.

What year/ model is it we are working on?
 
It is a 1969 roadrunner, and i was just out side and put a mirrow at the back of the car so that i can see what is working and what is not working, and turn them on and did some gigaling too the turn signal switch and pressing the brake pedal, and between the left turn blinking on and off both stop lites were staying on, but out of adjustment, so i will change the turn signal switch out with another factory turn switch out another steering collum i have, the one on it now is a cheeper easy fix it switch i bought a few years ago, but i am going to try the mopar one and see what happens, and i will let everybody know how it turns out, Thanks All for the help.
