Ok this is my third post about this.... My brake light is STILL not working right. I have done everything you all have told me and unfortunately its still being a pain, I already had a cop tell me my brake light is out in a parking lot. So heres a refresher, my bulb WORKS, as soon as I unscrew the light fixture and take it out. But when its in the hole it doesn't. The solders are in fine condition, no cracks or anything. The tab is sturdy and it is touching because like I said it works when its out of the light hole. So now my question is, whats next?? Is there possibly anything else that could be going wrong. Oh yeah, after working on it a few times I would screw it back in and it would actaully work, but a few minutes later it would no longer work anymore. Do you all think I need to get a new light plate (i would rather not) or do you think there is anything else that will fix this strange problem?? let me know! THANKS!

Cameron, that is all it can be.

The bulb
The Socket
The wiring.

There is nothing else to it. Onle of the three is bad. With it out, try to lightly flex the plate to see if you can replicate the problem. I will have a D2 this weekend and will take a look at it to maybe give you some pointers on exactly where to look. is it the right or left side?

 

Time to take it to a shop.

 

Yeah, i give up. Land rover here i come

 

Its on the left side, that only thing that I am not absolutly sure about the the solders, so if you would tell me where to look that would be great, but nothing stands out as far as I can tell.

 

It maybe cheaper in the long run.

If you know another shop you could have them look.

 

Yeah i am going to bring it by my LR indy. mechanic tomorrow, but if he doesn't know what to do I will go to my last resort and bring it to the dealership...
