Drivers Window And Brakelight Problems

[stealthlero]

Hey, the other day one of my buddies was followin me around in the car and they told me when I stopped my drivers side brakelight would not light up, so tonight i tested it out and that was the case, the pass. side lights up but the drivers side dont..... the bulb isn't burnt out cuz i turned the lights on and they all lit up?!?!

ALSO

Does anybody know what the problem would be, if i cant even get my drivers side window to roll down at all?? this isnt just the auto-down function the whole window wont roll down, all the other windows work fine though. I first noticed this problem a few days after I had to reset my low tire pressure light, it took a while to notice since I do live in Minnesota and it does get a little chilly drivin' wit the windows down!!


Any help from anybody on how to fix these problems would be greatly appreciated!!!! :thumbsup:

Now.. I may not be right on this...

The brake light part of the bulb can still go out with the taillamp still working. So I would say you need to replace your tailight bulb. (3057)

^^I'm guessing this because the high/medium/low house bulbs are the same way.. their high/medium can burn out but low still works.

And for the window... I fixed it by hitting the window motor repeatedly with the head of a screw driver... it'll work for like 3 or 4 days and then it would stop again... so finally my dad and I took the motor semi-apart and just like blew in it thinkng that there might be dirt stuck in there which in turn was jamming the window motor. And it hasn't stopped working since. :thumbsup:

Hope that helps.

the first part he got dead on right.......those bulbs are dual filament so it will light up on normal acting but the other part is burnt out for ur brake lights......just replace the bulb......

now the window thing it could be the switch, wiring, or the motor......id pull off the switch and check continuity if you know how to do that, or switch each assembly (passenger for driver side) if they have the same plug(not too sure about that).....if it works ohm the wires going to the motor........if thats fine, more than likely its ur motor.........also check ur fuses......im not sure if each window has its own fuse or not.....
