Stop lamp inoperative 1995 q45

[tsoneal]

I got this message and what I have found is that the rear left tail/stop light works when the lights are on, but does not when the brakes are pressed. It is the same bulb 1157. I put in a new bulb and it did the same thing. What could be the problem? Help me out guys I'm a chick!

check BOTH bulbs in center high mounted brake lamp

Is that the light in the back window? I am talking about the tail light on the left under the signal.

Check the ground for the lights, then check the bulb sensor.

I have the same problem, all bulbs work. Not sure where the grounds are for the lights, and i didnt see any sensors around.....

[Q451990]

The sensor is located behind the trim panel near the trunk latch on the body of the car. I would check your bulb sockets for corrosion and melting before you start pulling it apart...

The sensor test is located on EL-30 and it's location is shown on EL-257 of the factory service manual. It's available at www.nicoclub.com/FSM/
