No, seriously. Driver's side brake light out. Replaced lamp but no help. What now? 2000 Ford Windstar V6 146K miles.

Test the socket for power and ground arriving.

Re: Brake Light Out Sign In
What does the inside of the socket look like? It is melted or the terminals burnt up? You need a 12 volt test lamp and/or multimeter to test the socket for power and ground while someone is hitting the brakes.





Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

Re: Brake Light Out Sign In
Inside the socket looks fine. We'll try testing for voltage and report back. Thanks.

Looks like it is the socket after all. Thanks for your suggestion!

Re: Brake Light Out Sign In
Try to get the exact right new socket and solder the wires with shrink tubing over that,
