Put more tension on the internal contacts and use some dielectric grease.

Smile Brake light right side.

Thank you for the info, will try extra tension and grease on terminals. Makes sense on tension and I never thought about the Dielectric grease on contacts. I will give an update in a few days. Thanks again.

Smile Working fine.

Thank you Magnum454 . The brake lanp went out once and I used my pick to tighten up the socket on the right side and all is well now. It has been a week now so I just wanted to thank you for the help.Next I will fix the bulbs in the Radio and A/C control head. You guys gave me all the info on that so it should be a breeze.
