here is my problem… dont u guys love problems :lol:

CAR - 1989 240sx coupe

PROBLEM - taillights/brakelights are screwed up :oops:

\*bulbs are all fine and new  
\*when i press the brakes (with the lights off) all brakelights light up, however the drivers side one is a little dim  
\*when i press the brakes (with the lights on) the left (driver’s side) light assembly goes out completely while the right (passenger) one is fine…  
\*reverse lights and turn signals are fine

im guessing it is a wiiring problem, but cannot see anything from just removing the bulb assembly…and im not too good with wiiring

im also guessing that this may be a problem coupes have since i have seen a few around with the same problem…

any input/ideas is much appreciated…

thanks all  
Cal
