A fee weeks ago I had a brake light go out, and it was a few days before I got a new bulb. After replacing it, at night when I step on the pedal the light on the dash would flash for just a second. Tonite it gotten to were it would stay on dim while I was on the brake, and at idle would make all the lights go dim and almost kill the car it seemed. Got in the driveway and had the girlfriend step on the brakes while I looked at the lights, they would dim before the brake liights came on. Ill admit I haven't checked anything yet, I figured I'd check the grounds and fuses in the morning. I just wanted to know if anyone had any other ideas on possible causes that I should also look into.

Check out the "tail light failure box" in the right rear fender. They like to fail.

Lol. See? If they had named it the tail light invincible box, we probably wouldn't EVER have problems with it...


I crack myself up sometimes...

Anyway, yes. Mkiiichip has a good a suggestion.
