Checked bulb it was burnt out replaced it with the 3157 bulb like it said and still doesn't work. Taillights work everything else works, third brake works, left side works just that one. Connectors didn't look bad but can't figure it out just bought it. Please help!

Hello,

Look for a problem in the white/tan wire from splice 313 to the connector for the brake/stop light. You can do this with a multi-meter. I have included the wiring diagram in the diagrams below. Let us know what you find out.

Thanks,
Alex

Sorry for the delay been busy working on it and fixing other problems as well. But yes it was one of the two positive connectors was melted and pushed down. So I had to replace whole taillight due to plastic being to melted for me to bend it back up. Thank you all.
