issue: my brake lamp light is on. all my brake lamps work, except one -rear passenger side. the bulb however is still good, because the parking lights still work.

 

If it's a gen 4 it's a dual filament blub which means even if it comes on with your parking lights it could still be blown.

correct...replace that bulb.

On another note...When I start my car I can turn on every light on my car and that brake lamp will stay off. But the very second that I tap the brakes...That DAMN brake lamp light comes on and stays on until I turn the car back off and restart.

Any Ideas on that?

The bulb is still good because I switched that bulb out w/ the "working bulb" from the driver side -still no luck. Bump for more help or a wiring diagram.

Make sure your bulbs are the same. I blew 2 bulbs because my drivers side was different. (previous owner.. =[) It worked fine on the driver's side, but messed up the balance and blew the p/s. I since then replaced both and it now works just fine.

Doesn't the brake lamp come on if you're low on brake fluid? Might want to give that a check...

EDIT: - oh, but you said one light isn't working. Take a small wire brush to the contact and check the wire if you are absolutley sure the bulb itself is still good.
