Hi, I'm new to this forum and forums in general. I am a senior in highschool and own a 1997 Camaro Z28. I've had it for 8 months and done multiple things, including an alternator, fuel filter, oil changes, brakes, air intake among other things. I do my best to keep it out of mechanic shops because I am usually charged an arm and a leg and I don't make that kind of money. Currently I noticed that my passenger side rear brake light does not light up, however the bulb is illuminated when my lights are on. The other two brake lights, drivers side and middle of the wing both work. I tried replacing the brake light sensor, and the bulb but it did not help at all. I'm not sure what else it could be, since the socket must be getting power, as the bulb is on. Am I missing something? Looking for some advice/instructions...

 

It's probably the bulb.
If memory serves it's a dual filament bulb,one for tail light and one for brake.

 

On my 97, I see three bulbs. A turn signal bulb, back up light bulb, and a taillight/brake bulb. To the best of my knowledge...

 

Sounds correct,I missed that you said you replaced the bulb already.
Could be corrosion in the socket or a wire.
Time to get some help and a current tester to see if the wire is hot when someone applies the brakes,

 

Test light for the win. They can be dirt cheap. I found a good video, but the video show using a test light to check a injector, don't do that with a cheap or old test light. If the test light flows too much power it can fry electronics. You should use a noid light on injectors. That is why they exist.
