    No one is trying to flame the OP. Just trying to figure which he needs help on. So just to the help or move on, Ghandi. Later, QD.

    if its a dual filament(sp?) bulb and only one works get a new bulb and then if only the one filament still works you may have a wiring or connector issue but most likely it simply needs a new bulb

    slaps forehead.. try the breaklight switch, mounted under the dash by the pedal. if the runnin lights work the switch wont effect them so may be as simple unplug, unscrew, replace and booyah brakes work

    That would be a great answer if he didn't say his RIGHT brake light didn't work. Since he specified only ONE bulb, the answer is more likely than not that he has a bad bulb. Since they're dual filament style he's probably lost the filament that takes more energy and turns on and off more often, which would be the BRAKE filament. Fuses aren't that likely because again it's only ONE side. It could be wiring but it's not likely because his tail and running lights work. He needs to go buy a new $2 light bulb at Autozone and replace it to see if he has the same problem. If he does he should work back from there. If he can't figure out how to do that, he should probably go see a Mechanic and just give him $90 for an hour of time to fix it, because he'll probably just mess it all up worse.

    ok guys, i had this same problems, its the wires that connects to the bulbs, if its just your right side thats not working then its the wires that connects to the bulb socket. what i did was take the light bulb out, and put it back in, if that doesn't work trying moving the wires in different angles to see if it lights up
