Taillight / Blinker Problem
Ok this is very weird, when i press the brakes both lights, light up but the left one is really bright as it should be, but the right side is extremely dim, also when the running lights are on, the entire back lights light up but again, left side is brighter and the right side is dimmer the normal, but when you press the brakes the right side gets almost completely out dim. Blinkers on left side work, but kinda slow, and right side doesnt work at all. I have replaced the blinker unit. and changed every single bulb with a new one and no fuses are out.
Check to make sure all the connections are good.
If I remember the wiring harness is on the drivers side.
I don't remember if you can see it from under neath.
I think you have to pull the moulding off the back, and possible remove the tail light lens on the drivers side.
Start checking there to see if you have enough voltage going to the lights.
If you do, then the problem should be back there somewhere.
Keep us informed and good luck.

also, check the ground that the wires go to after the series of lights. and the wires that they're not stripped somewhere. my uncle had problems like that on his, and it was a rusty ground. he also blew fuses all the time, and that was part of the wire at the corner of the car was touching the body once in a while.
