    98 grand prix. Both front turn signals work..rear driver side brake and turn signal work..passanger side brake and turns signal do not work as long as the middle brake light. Chased the wiring and checked all that out checked the fuses all good. Any ideas what could make the middle brake light and the passanger side brake light and turn signal not work?

    Kinda a dumb question, but did you swap the bulbs yet?

    prob the wires before the plug to the socket for power, if its still dead, start tracing the wires and look for damage, that loom of wires that runs under the trunk hinge is always guilty and worth a look at.

    I have no idea what is going on now. It started off with the right brake light and rear blinker not working....Now both sides stopped working. I replaced the turn signal switch, all the relays under the dash, the brake switch, and all the fuses, bulbs, and no visible wire damage anywhere. Im at a complete loss here

    Having the same issue as you are. Did you get this resolved? Fuses good, changed the flasher relay(now front don't flash fast anymore), changed all bulbs, cleaned the bulb terminals, took off signal assembly and cleaned all contact terminals...looks good though, still no signal to the bulb.
