    Default backlight problem

    my back right light has recently stoped working. the indicator still works although when you press the brake or put the head light on it does not illuminate. i checked every fuse in my car and there all fine and took the light bulb out and looked at it and the filiments are still in perfect order. what do i do now?

    Grab out your multimeter and start looking for voltage.
