I know that the bulbs are not burnt out because I checked them and even tested a brand new one. All the lights in my right break light just stopped working after I got my car back from the shop. Could it be a fuse problem?? If so, where would the fuse be located at? (and I don't have the owners manual) I have a 1993 Ford Taurus SHO, 3.2 Liter V6 Thank you, Kyle

Could be the socket or any of the wiring in the circuit. If it's only the turn signal/brake light, then it could be the turn signal switch too. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

thanks for the reply. This is really weird. This problem with the lights not working is on the "back, right of the car." At the same time that this happened, the turn signal on the "front, right" is going out (or so I think) because the right, front turn signal is blinking super fast. Should I take a look at that bulb?

No, it's blinking fast because the back one isn't working. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

dude thanks, that makes sense. I'll try to figure out what the problem is. Maybe my dad can help out.

You just have to use a test light and determine whether it's power or ground that's missing and where are you losing it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

What do you mean by "power" or "ground"? sorry I am new to these type of things. also this happened right after we got the car back from the shop (we had taken it in to get the rack and pinion replaced) hmm

You're going to need someone with more electrical knowledge to be able to diagnose this. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.
