My driver side break light is not working, at first I thought it was just the bulb but when I took off the light and replaced it the light still didn't work. Then I found out that if you push it down it will work for a while (even with the old bulb) but as soon as a screw the light back on it doesn't work anymore. Anyone know how I can fix this? It kind of annoying and nothing looks loose anywhere. Just let me know what to do if you have any idea!!

Thanks!

Hi Camdisco24
Sounds like you have a connection problem. You need to bend the tab in the socket out a bit so that it makes good contact with the bottom of the bulb.

Kind of a common problem, make sure you clean all you contact with some contact cleaner along with resetting the tabs.

What do you mean by resetting the tabs?? Thanks for the input!!

The tab that he's referring to is pictured in that link that I sent you ( very center of the picture with red arrow ). The tab is the contact for the center of the bulb. Lots of times, the tab has lost its spring effect to make good contact with the bulb. You need to pull it out toward you just enough that it makes good contact without you having to push the bulb in position. As Mike says, also, clean the contact areas. It there are signs of corrosion, water maybe getting in there (rain, car wash etc.). If so consider applying light sealant.
