Problem with tail light
I have been getting the little "tail light is out bulb" on my dash, so i went ahead and took a look to see which bulb was out, finally i figure out its my left stop light bulb that is out, the next day i buy the bulb and replace it, i turn the car on and the " tail light bulb" is still on so i take a look and see that the light turns on when my dad steps on the brake. everything seems normal. so i just said well as long as it works for now, since i thought the problem was probably the wattage on the bulb i bought. however i was getting ready to go out at night and i am told my stop light isnt working. so after taking a look i figure out that if i turn on my headlights my left stop light does not work, but when i dont turn on my headlights the stop light works, the right one is ok and as a matter of fact the old bulb that i thought was out still works, i already searched and could not come up with anything, what could be the problem?

That's what I would check for. My 94 SC had badly corroded sockets, they were so bad the bulbs were basically fused to the sockets. I ended up getting a new taillight harness w/ new bulbs. My warning light never came back on after that.

all the other lights work its just the left stop light that doesnt work when i step on the brake, the funny thing is it works fine in the day when i dont turn on my headlights but at night when i have to turn on my headlights thats when i get the problem. thats what has me confused.

i have the issue where, all my lights work, but the warning light comes on. Ive changed almost all the bulbs already and i normally clean the sockets with electronics cleaner and put some dieletric grease when i change the bulbs, i will check the other sockets as well.
