Brakelight hackjob
Well, today at Partsource an old man told me my right brake light was out, and sure enough it was. I check, and the socket's got serious corrosion, but it turns out someone had rewired the headlight (according to my cuz the mechanic), causing it to get constant voltage, and so the best we could do for now was to rig it so the tail light still works. Will have to see his friend the electrician tomorrow to see if it can be corrected so I don't have to buy new tail lights.
Not complaining, glad it wasn't something worse, and at least the middle and left one work.
I expected to drop $2-3k on maintenance anyway, so oh well :P
