Over the past 9-10 months I've had several people stop me and let me know my left rear brake light was out. Each time after checking on it myself later at home, I never found a problem.
Finally, after my buddy followed me back to the office from lunch one day and he said it was out the whole way, I decided to just go ahead and replace it.
No more than a couple hours after replacing it, I had someone pull up next to me at a light and alert me that it was out again. At this point I'm about to lose my mind so I did some experimenting.
Turns out, when my lights are on, the brake light works fine. When my lights are off, the left rear light doesn't work at all. Hence why I never saw a problem since I always checked at night with the lights on.
Any ideas what could be causing this? I'm assuming it's a short somewhere but don't really want to deal with the $$$ of getting that fixed.
Thoughts?
