A man stopped me yesterday said my right rear brake lamp was inop. Got home replaced bulb, still inop. Right turn signal works, tail light works, Four way flashers work. Test for ground by putting wire down beside bulb and connecting to new ground. Need Help, What Could Cause This problem.

The brake lights operate through the turn signal switch.
Make sure the turn signal lever is centered or one or the other brake light will not work.
You may need to refurbish the turn signal switch.
