Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Unsuccessful attempt

I replaced both bulbs with an identical bulb (4W Sylvania 7225LL). No change.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1Original post

My wife noticed while following me the other night that the right (rear passenger side) light was not lighting when I braked. I replaced both bulbs with an identical bulb (4W Sylvania 7225LL). No change. It lights properly when the headlights are on, just won't brighten when applying the brakes. The left brake light works fine, so I assume the fuse is not the issue. Any ideas?

POST 2Original post

Well, it wasn't the brake light after all. It wasn't actually a problem. The rear outermost taillights have two filaments. Only the left one is lit when the fog lamps are turned on. Palm to Forehead! -Doug
