My driver side brake light went out a little bit ago, i replaced the bulb with a new one thought it was fine, but the brake light wouldnt go on, so i replaced with the other one in the package and still no luck. I even replaced both of the bulbs in that tail light and still no avail. I know the bulbs work because when i turn the lights on they light up, so i figure it is something electrical, any ideas?

You're going to need to trace the circuit. Verify if voltage is making it to the plug with a voltmeter. If there is no voltage, then verify with a continuity test that the wire between the fuse box and the light socket are whole. Remember to depress the brake pedal to do this (otherwise it won't be connected, since the brake light shouldn't be on.)

uhhh, do what? not so good at electrics

Grab a multimeter. One can be had for cheap at Harbor Freight. The key is to make sure it has something called a continuity tester. Basically the multimeter will make a sound if power can flow down one of the two probes and up into the other. This is useful for determining if two things are electrically connected (such as the ends of a wire). One problem you will have is that the probe leads aren't going to stretch the length of the truck. They make two piece continuity testers and you may want to invest in one if yo want to test the full circuit from the tail light to the fuse box in the cab.

The other useful item will be the voltage meter. This will tell you the voltage between two points. Anything connected to the positive circuit in the truck will show something between 12 and 13 when the other probe is touched to the frame metal (because it is electrically connected to the block, which is where the negative terminal of the battery attaches to). If it reads 0 volts, then ithert the positive end isn't powered or the other probe is not attached very well to groud / frame.

(Note: the multimeter contains the continuity tester and the voltage meter, along with other tests. The two piece continuity tester just does the continuity usually)

ok ill try those methods, there is a hobby shop here on base that me and my buddy are going to on thurs and try to fix it and they should have all the tools i need.
