Lighting Question I had a problem for the last week or so. 1st it a 2001 ws6. About a week ago I changed out a flasher unit for it being bad, but now the problem im having is that when i press in the brake my right turn signal light on the dash comes on and my front right running light also lights up. Also I been told tht my right brake light doesent light as bright as my left tail light. the front socket has been changed and I just changed out the bulb. I dont know if the blinker blub went bad or something else. After i changed out the bulb I noticed that the drl wont turn on, on the right side but will light up with the switch turned to on. Any insight would be helpful

The flasher unit might not have been bad, or went bad in leiu of another existing problem. You have a short somewhere. Do you drive the car in the winter? Do you have water buildup in the taillight housings?

Thanks guys, I started checking all the housing, All in the rear look good. the only 1 I found was the driver running light housing in pretty bad shape. Im going to autozone in the morning to get a new one. As for the tails I looks like my passenger tail Is a little darker than my drivers one? Weird. Also The 194 lights on the tails were both burnt.

Well I chaged out the bad housing and put in all fresh bulbs. The only problem im having is still when I put my foot on the brake, my front right turn signal lights up with my brak lights and the turn signal on the dash stay contanst lit up. i check 99 percent of the ground and they are all good. The only thing I can think of is it possible something in the steering column. Any advince shoot it my way. Thanks JAc
