The is not law about that and the traffic light not working doesn't means you should just move with out caution. Remember all driver are to be a safe driver on the road. So You will just have to come to a full stop and proceed with caution same as a flashing red light.

The Law is as follows. IF the light stays red and doesn't turn green...should you run the light and keep in mind this is 3:30 am and there is no other cars around visible to the eye.
I was told by a Police Officer that even though it is clear.,.your still breaking the law.
Use your best judgment....I always run those babies.

it becomes like a 4 way stop sign. If two cars pull up to the light at the same time, the one on the right goes first...although a nice wave of the hand allowing the other to go first is always cool even if that's so rare in So. Calif. that you don't know what to do...

Treat it as if it's a 4-way stop where the crossing traffic does not know they have to stop.
