weird taillight problem
ok heres the deal, my driver's side brake light works but everynow and then it has stopped working for short amounts of time everynow and then. did some troubleshooting today see if i could figure it out. heres what i found/ with the lights off, you turn on the passenger side blinker and then turn it off the driver's side brake light doesnt work, you then turn on the driver's side blinker and turn it off and then the drivers's side brake light works again. also if you hold down the brake pedal all the brake lights work you then turn on the right side blinker and turn it off the driver's side brake light will go off when you turn off the right blinker but all the other brake lights stay on. WTF this is just messing with my head

yep, it's the switch....
my gf has a '95 TA and has this same problem with her drivers side brake light. She just got in the habit of re-centering the signal lever after she makes a left turn. She just pushes the lever up slightly.
Here was my post on the issue....
