Brake lights
Not sure why this is happening......when I press my brakes, both lights go on but at night when I turn on my lights, no passenger side light. Same thing when I arm/disarm my car alarm. Usually the lights flash once but nothing happens. Only time the light goes on is when the brakes are applied. I changed the passenger brake light bulb but wouldn't this be a wiring or fuse issue? Any help is much appreciated.

Maybe the wrong bulb installed (2-filament vs 1-filament) ?

Brake light and tail light are two different fillaments usually. If you replaced the bulb and it still doesn't work, then yeah you're on the right track with the fuse/wiring. Check your bulb socket and make sure it's not all gunked up. And when you install it use a little electrical grease

Figured out what the problem was. The bulb wasn't pushed all the way into the socket. When I installed it, I had pushed it in pretty well, but I jammed it in there today and everything worked.
