Default Re: dash lights come on when I depress brake/no brake lights

Sooo, this morning I reexamined the driver side tail light assembly. What I found is that the brass tube that holds the bulb and pushes through the tail light housing was gritty and a tad rusty. I removed the tube and cleaned the tube and the hole that it slides through. I turned on the lights and they worked; both sides. Hurray. I turned on the turn signals and they worked on the right only. Dash light still shows when i depress brake. I will get to grounding frame to bed and then install a new bulb on the left. Progress! Hope this helps others. by the way, I have aftermarket tail light assembly and it doesnt seem right to me that the brass tube would turn at all??? junk assembly??
