Re: Right side brake light always on

I'd check the bulb first. One of the most common causes is that someone stuck the wrong bulb in there (single-filament vs dual-filament).
Another reason could be corrosion (likely in PA).

A few questions, though:
1) Do both brake lights work fine without lights on?
2) Does the right brake light light up with parking lights on or only headlights on?
3) What happens when you hit the brake with the headlights on?
