Good Evening Everyone,
I need some help. I have a 93 honda accord dx and on the dash board the break light illuminates, when i check to see what lights are out the right brake tail light and the center brake light does not illuminate. All the remaining lights are operational for tthe tail lights. i have check the bulb for the right brake light and it shows no indication of damage /being blown and i have replaced it. the center light is not blown but bulb show little indicate of blackness but i have replaced it. I know if theres a short it would be very hard and tedious to find out where exactly it is. I know if i go pepboys or else where they gona charge me at some highly hourly rate just to look at it. right now my car is parked so i can avoid getting ticketted but your help will be appreciated.

 

Suggest getting a test light (~$5) and test each of the fixtures for 12V w/ brake lights on. Use a short board and adjust seat position to depress brake pedal).

If you have 12V, the contacts may be corroded or damaged. Try polishing w/ a rubber pencil eraser.

If you don't have 12V, you will need to trace voltage along the wiring harness to find out where 12V is available to isolate the fault location.

It is very possible that the brake light failure sensing module for the R side is faulty (Center light works off R module). Check module for damage. Also check for 12V to the module, if you don't have 12V at the center or R brake light bulbs.

good luck

 

X2 on the failure sensor on the right rear. Double check the connection into the sensor as well.

 

oh k , ill try these methods. to think of it the component the bulb actually sits in look a little corroded. it so happens that my rihght tail light is cracked and theres indication of condensation behind in the tail lights coul this also b a factory to make lights not work?i have a can of contact clearner so i will clean the bulb sockets. thanx agen guys

 

Sure the condensation can lead to corrosion. Check the taillight gaskets too.
