Sign In 1991 Nissan Pathfinder 2WD 3.0 L Over 130,000 I think I noticed when my father was driving the car that the left side brake light wasn't as bright as the right side brake light, when the brake pedal was pressed. So we went and got a new light bulb. Still the same problem. Then when you turn on the lights, both the light's are dim, and when you press the brake the left side brake light goes completely out. We have gotten a new bulb---and replaced the brake light switch.

Sign In Just as you would check a POSITIVE wire to see it it had power you use one of these with the clip to power and it will light when touching ground as proof that it's ground. Any device relies on power and ground to do anything. In automotives the metal of the vehicle's body is usually ground such that some items don't use a wire but just touch common ground - test for it anyway, T   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
