I have a ford contour and the tail light and brake light is the same bulb but the brake light WORKS but not the tail light what can be the problem. I CHANGE THE BULB TWICE?

When the tail light and break light are on the same bulb said bulb has 2 elements, one for the break and the other for the tail light, one element is burned out. Replace the bulb. If you've replaced the bulb, it might be the wiring. The holder for the bulb sometimes is at fault. They are $40.00 at the dealer, but at a pick a part or salvage yard they are $2.00.

How do you change brake light bulbs in a 2006 PT Cruiser?

You can download an owners manual from Cyrsler.com (go to the "for owners" page). This is from the 2005 model (I'm in the same boat) but it should be pretty much the same: Back Up Light Bulb 1. Remove the screws attaching the back up light to the rear fascia and remove the housing. 2. Remove the socket from the housing. 3. Pull the bulb out of the socket and replace. This should allow you to get at both the reverse indicator and brake light bulbs! You can download an owners manual from Cyrsler.com (go to the "for owners" page).
