    One brake light won't work

    All the tailights work properly, but when I press the brakes the driver's side light assembly turns off completely. The passenger side and 3rd brakelight work fine. The bulbs are new. It's an 87 Supra.

    Clutch stuck on floor

    The clutch fork and rod are both in the right place. So the clutch pedal now seems normal on the lower half of travel, and it will pop all the way up by itself, but the top half of travel there is nothing to the pedal.
