Default Sequential tail light problem...

I'm having a problem with my passenger side tail light, specifically the middle bulb. When I use the key fob to open my car it lights up just like it is suposed to, but when I use the break or the turn signal, the middle bulb doesn't light up. The first and third bulbs do though. I took it all apart to inspect it, and it all looks fine. I plugged it into the other side just to see if it was the connection, but it did the same thing. Has anyone had this problem before? It just started this week too, which I thought it was weird it didn't happen from the start. It is a plug and play system (I'm working on the brand since I can't remember, I just need to find the receipt for it).

May just need a replacement bulb

Or there could be a loose connection in your wiring, may need to do some splicing, i had the same problem when i got mine. Just did some soldering on a loose connection and it did the trick

Sounds like the bulb is bad. It has two filaments, one for parking lights and one for the brakes. I would suspect the filament for the brake light is burned out. You will still see the bulb light for the parking light even though the brake is burned out.

If you bought it from WebElectric, it is under warranty. Give them a call and they will help you.

Well it was a gift so I'm still trying to track down where I got it from, then I'll get ahold of them. If it is a bad wire, how can I test for that? Also I put the bulb in another socket and it worked fine so its not the bulb.
