Default driver side brake light not working.

I say brake light because thats the only part of the taillight that doesn't work. I can turn on my running lights and it works, go to hit the brakes and nothing.

I plugged my stock lights back in and still got the same result. Can anyone guess what may have happened? Do ya'll know which fuses to check? It happened when I was on my way home from Waco saturday. it worked fine before then.

Could my drop have effected the wires some how?

the harness that runs form the tails to the board under the bed is known for shorting out and popping fuses. Usually only with nbs. but idk about nnbs. Could be possible. take that **** to GM you still have a warranty.

I hit 45,000 miles this weekend. That warrenty is long gone lol.

But yea, I know what you're talking about. Where is the fuse located for that then? Is it on the board or under the hood?

Could be a dual filament bulb that's burnt out. When you say you put the stock lights back in, did you have aftermarket bulbs in before, and it's still burnt out with the old stockers?

Check out the dual filament then. Solution could be as easy as just replacing the bulb.

Its the anzo l.e.d taillights. they don't have dual filament. Plus if the taillight was some how fucked up, the stock ones should have worked because they were not broke in anyway when I took them off.

I'm sure it is what Trevor is talking about. I'll just have to check the fuses when I get home.
