2001 Brake Light Out

[TheTrueMoron]

My driver's side brake light is out. The bulb itself is fine (1 bulb for the normal light and brake light). I took it to the dealership and asked them to fix it since I was already getting my oil changed there and they didn't do anything about it. I was looking through my Hayne's manual and I think I may need to find the 'rear lamps bussing block' or maybe the 10 amp brake light fuse but I don't know where those are (I know where the fuse panel is in the engine compartment and on the side of the dash). Does anyone know exactly where these things are located or how I fix this problem?

Fuse for the stop/tail should be on the driver's side fuse box inside the cab (that is where it is on mine) and it was a 15 amp fuse. I think it was labeled VEH STOP on the fuse diagram.

"the 'rear lamps bussing block'"

located behind the license plate, you will see a block with wires coming from each tail light. then a wire going to the harness running to the front of the truck.
