If you changed the bulb, then you probably have a bad connection. These get oxidized on occasion. With the cover off the tail light assembly, have someone actuate the brakes to get the light to burn. Wiggle the bulb around to see if you can get it to burn. If not, remove the bulb, and look at the contact inside. You may have to scrape it with the end of a small blade screwdriver or other metal tool. Replace the bulb and see if you get it to burn. If not, the wiring to the connector may be bad. You can use a small multi - meter to check for voltage at any point in the wiring. I have had wires burn in two and make an open circuit. It is either the wire, connector, or the bulb (a new one is not necessarily ok - you can check each filament by checking ohms between the brass base and each of two filament connections (bottom tip of the bulb). One of these will be the source of the problem. Good luck.

Before assuming the worse, check the light base, where the light bulb goes in for any corrosion, verify with a multimeter that you have power to the socket when the brake light is on. If you don't go back down the wires checking for any loose connections or cuts to the left side of the brake light. They usually gang the right and left brake lights together, so its unlikely the whole wiring or the whole light "board" is bad because the left side still works.

on the flat. positioned on your sign lighting fixtures fixtures. Now get out of the motor vehicle and seem on the front easy and the rear easy. Do the comparable for the different facet. Now do the risks and examine all around your motor vehicle. Then if the sign lighting fixtures fixtures are a situation, first examine the fuse field and see if there are fuses in basic terms for the sign lighting fixtures fixtures - if so pull them, examine out them and sparkling off the area of touch and reinsert the fuse. Do the two one in all them. verify the filament interior continues to be one piece of twine. sparkling the area of touch the place it clips to interior the fuse field and positioned the fuse back. try returned. No bypass? you may would desire to tug off the guidance wheel because it has a sprint ring below the guidance wheel. verify it somewhat is sparkling and sleek.(not oxidized brass) use effective sandpaper on it) positioned the guidance wheel back on. try returned. If not yet then you definately've a floor twine it somewhat is oxidized someplace.

Probably one of those Multi Filament bulbs and the part for Brake is burnt out. Take it out and replace it, may as well replace all of them since its a 98.

It is likely that water has gotten in to the socket and corroded the socket. You will need a new one. check with Honda for pricing or check with your local auto parts store.

you have a blown fuse. Check that. If that doesn't solve the problem then you may have a broken wire somewhere. maybe you where loading something into the back of your car and you didn't realize it, but you may have damaged something.

You need a new brake light assembly. About $100.00
