1992 Corolla-274000 miles/automatic. (Brake light-in same socket as
the non working tail light- and all other lights work good)
I have 10 volts at the socket (from bulb contact to socket edge-
ground) and 10 volts if I use a second ground (no change). Removed the
bulb contact disk from socket, touch bulb to the contact and ground
the edge of the bulb with a seperate wire and I get same result (tail
light won't work - brake light works. I'm confused - seems like I have
a complete circuit, but the tail light bulb won't light. PS - I was
using three different known to be good bulbs while doing this, type
1157. Please Help, don't want a ticket, thanks PullnGo.
I Will Also Add: The tail light bulb is an 1157, so it has
two elements - 1 for tail light and 1 for brake light. So it is one
bulb that has the tail and brake light in it. The socket that the bulb
goes into has two contact points, this socket has two power wires (one
for tail light and one for brake light) and a ground wire (which shows
a good ground) going to it as well, but no tail light - Hope I didn't make this too long winded...
