brake lights crossed
The brake lights on my 85 Bronco II seem to be crossed. When I
turn on the <a href="http://www.motorhaven.com/">headlight switch</a> the left brake light is on and the
right tail light is normal. When I hit the brake pedal the opposite
happens the left tail light dims and the right brake light comes on
like it should. The right side seems fine but the left side seems to
be crossed. If anybody knows how to fix this problem I would
really appreciate it.

pull the bulb out and make sure it is good and then put it back in making SURE you line up the pins on the bulb to the grooves in the socket. One pin is higher up on the bulb's base than the other and the grooves are made the same way. I put my bulb in wrong once and it acted the same way. Also, when you check the bulb, make sure the connectors on the bottom of the bulb do not have gashes in them and that the connection loops inside the socket (just look and you will see what I am talking about) are not severed or bent out of shape. hope this helps.

Thanks alot for the help. I pulled the bulb out and put it back in making sure everything was lined up and that fixed the problem. I never would have thought it would have been something that simple. Thanks again.
