[FC] Right rear turn signal/brake light problem 61 rampy

[Ken Hand]

You need to ground not just the aluminum housing but the socket that the bulb goes into. Corrosion builds up between the steel and aluminum and does not pass electrons very well. So ground the socket and see what happens. You can even do that temporarily with a srew driver placed next to the socket and on the housing and twist just a little bit.

With the bulb working the way you mentioned it is a ground problem. The parking lights are grounding through the brake system until you put the brakes on or turn that signal on.
