Seth-Have not had any problem with the signal switch that was my next thought.
Just had the car painted. Media is everywhere and have been vacuuming out trash
everywhere and scuffing up for new grounds.
Thank you-Stephen Till

I need help from someone who is well versed in?a LM electrical. I?do not have
a?RT rear brake light. I have a good ground along with a running light and turn
signal but, No brake light. Bulb is good. Any Ideas? Thinking a bad socket bulb
socket? I believe it feeds off the left side according to the schematic.
?Thank you-Stephen Till

The problem is probably in the turn signal switch.

Stephen - If you have a perfectly functional right turn signal flash,
forget about the socket or the bulb, the problem is in the steering column and
likely in the turn signal switch. The flashing turn signal is the test for
a good feed and ground. The turn signal switch interrupts the feed from the
brake light circuit to the bulb and feeds it a flasher-interrupted signal
to blink the bright filament. When the turn signal is not engaged, the
circuit from the brake light switch should be attached to the filament,
allowing it to light up when you hit the brakes. That is obviously not the case
on
your car. Somewhere in the wiring of the harness in the column, or in the
turn signal switch itself, a contact is open and not feeding the little tab
inside the switch. Try unplugging and re-inserting the pair of half-moon
connectors at the base of the column. If that doesn't re-establish a brake
light, you may have to go into the column by removing the steering wheel and
opening up the switch. (remember to disconnect the battery first!) Check
the shop manual or Ned's great wiring diagrams. Have you ever had a problem
with the turn signal switch?
