Want to confirm before I order replacement taillights that that is the most likely cause.
New bulbs made no difference.
When lights are on, passenger side tail light is brightly lit. Driver side taillight is like 90% bright lit, slightly less than other side despite new bulbs. Third (high mounted) brake light is very dimly lit. (that should not be).
When I hit brake pedal the passenger taillight stays lit, no brighter, no change, driver taillight goes completely out, and third (high mount) brake light lights up bright (normal for when brake pedal depressed).
I tried checking all the contacts, find no leaks with water or whatever. My Google FU tells me one of the circuit boards in a taillight is worn out, and the quickest path to least resistance is to replace both taillights and move on with life.
Am I missing something? Can't afford to just throw parts at it unless I am reasonably sure it will work.
