Brake lamp box failure? You tell me...???

[jaydm16]

Okay so I blew a taillamp bulb and replaced it. Now whenever I have the lights on and step on the brake one bulb (the one that I replaced) stays lit when i get off the brakes until I turb the car off. During the day it is fine but the moment i turn on my lights and brake...BOOM it does it again...

Is this that dreaded brake lamp failure thingy? how do i wire around it for a 90? I read the tech on supracentral.com but its kind of confusing to me. :dunno:

try this, it worked for me.

these suckers are prone to getting corroded. they always get water in them from leaky old seals and whatnot.

pull out the box, and pry it apart. put a dab of flux on each connection on the soldered side of the board, and heat it with a soldering iron until the solder melts and makes a nice new, shiny connection. do this with all of the connections inside that box. (there arent that many)

it worked like a charm for me! i havent had a problem since
