There are 2 filaments in the tail light bulb. One filament lights for the tail light and stays on as long as you have the tail lights on. The other filament only works when either the turn signal is on, or the flashers, or the brakes are applied. Have some one get in the truck and apply the brakes and see if the right rear brake light comes on. If it doesn't, then the filament is broken inside the bulb and you will need to go get a new bulb. Most pickup you just remove a few screws and gently put the plastic lens off and then either twist to remove the bulb or just pull straight out depending on the base of the bulb from the housing. Once you get the old bulb out hold it up to the light and nomally you will see one filament is still connected and the other filament will be broken. You can always go get the bulb first and see what the base looks like to determine if it's a twist and pull or just a pull style bulb.

What is the wire color for 2000 Montana brake lights at the rear light?

At the right rear light the brake light wire is white. There is a manufacturer installed connector for a trailer lighting kit use located about 12 inches ahead of the left rear tail light behind the plastic panel holding the accessories options. The connector holds an orange wire for continuous power. It also has the white wire for brake lights. It has the dark green for right signal lights, yellow for left signal. At the right rear signal light assembly there is more than one dark green wire.

When I signal left the right backup light blinks why?

Does the turn signal also blink? If so, you have two wires touching. What happens when you put the vehicle in reverse and the backup light is supposed to come on? If the turn signal lights up and the backup light doesn't, you have the bulbs in the wrong socket.

What causes a rapid turn signal on a 2002 blazer?

It has been my experience that a rapid turn signal indicates there is a burnt-out signal light bulb (either front or rear) on the side of the rapid blinking signal. If the right signal is blinking rapidly, the problem is in the signal lights for the right side (front or rear) of the vehicle. Turn the rapid signal on and step out of the vehicle to find which bulb is not lighting.


Why is right turn signal blinking faster than the left and right brake and rear right signal aren't working in a 2000 Dodge Neon?

More than likely you have a burnt out bulb at the front signal light, rear signal light, or brake light on the right side.
