- Right Brake Light Does Not Work After Breakaway Switch Installation
- That is odd that your right rear brake light does not work if they spliced the break away switch battery into your running light circuit.

I would recommend checking each of the connection points for possible cuts or frays to other wires nearby. It is possible that they may have accidentally cut or damaged a brake light wire creating a short that would cause your brake light to fail.
