Tail light issue.

[SeanR32GtSt]

Just got my car back from the paint shop and couple people on the road told me my brake light was out. Turns out the running lights all light up, but if I have no lights running and I tap the breaks the passenger side middle bulb doesn’t light up. Also if I have the daytime lights on, the passenger side tail light is brighter than the others.

Before you posted this, have you even attempted to pull your rear globes out to see what's going on ?

I haven’t pulled the globes out and tried running the lights

Thought so. Reason I ask is if it was OK before, clearly there is a globe issue now. Your left brake light is coming on with the tail lights. They are a dual filament globe, so it's probably either correct globe not seated correctly or an incorrect single filament globe someone has put in there that shouldn't.

Or the worst case it's a wiring issue, but how would we know as you haven't even checked if the correct globes are in there for a start - go have a look and then report back.

I took the back out and turned the running lights on and the middle bulb does not light up.

Switch globes, use multi-meter. All the things you should do to diagnose minor electrical problems.
