01 Civic - brake light problem

[TimDroz]

I have an 01 Civic LX. The right brake light will not light when the brake pedal is depressed, although that bulb lights up for the running lights when the headlights are turned on (brake light won't light regardless of whether headlights are on or off). I've replaced the bulb (thought that was the original problem), but I'm at a loss for what to check next.

Any help appreciated!

Thanks,

Tim

hmm maybe a wiring problem? I installed a new trunk light into my care and I was wondering out why it wouldn't light up. Then I realized it was because the electric tape melted off the wiring from the heat. Maybe when you replaced the light bulb you moved something you shouldn't have.
