i recently purchased a 83 280ZX, and the passenger brake light doesn't turn on at all. i've already searched the forum for the same problem, and tried everything i've come across so far. i have put in a new brake switch, replaced bulbs, new fuses, and replaced the socket for the light. i was wondering if there is one more thing before i go out and rewire the whole thing.

 

Welcome to ZDriver! Did you check for voltage at the brake light plug?

 

yes, I was getting the same as the other light. some mechanics i asked have been saying it could be a bad ground, but any other ideas from others familiar with the the car would be greatly appreciated.

 

thank you for your help, but i have discovered all it needed was a well placed kick.

 

you should of elbowed it like the fonz
