I haven't read everyone's comments about this, so it may have been mentioned that the brake light power comes through the turn signal switch. The switch may need to have the contacts cleaned internally.

> Funny I thought the same thing Jim. Then I sort of figured a "rest" light was a TEST light and "juice" was CURRENT. Get the wiring diagram and fault trace properly. You will probably find no current is coming thru the turn signal switch but this should be verified first before replacing parts. With the proper wiring diagram. I am sorry if this is not the answer you want to hear/read but it is what it is.

> I agree with both Jims except in junks situation he has no juice (power) present at his tailight socket. Therefore all the sockets/grounds/soldering in the world will not help him fix his problem. I think he is on the track to either fix or at least figure out where his problem is. If he listens.
