No brake lights

Wow it’s been awhile since I been on here but anyways.... the brake relay that is underneath the dash board which holds 2 relays, one for the blinkers and one for the brake lights is lose literally the relay falls right out of the socket. Did anyone ever have this problem before? Thanks

never had that experience, but obviously something physical changed.

Does everything work when the relay is in? If it does, maybe just use some good old duct tape as a temporary fix

Try swapping relays, if you’re lucky it’s the relay and not the female outlet. That’s not a relay that is typically being pulled and pushed and sees a lot of abuse,so can’t help there. I have a fuse socket like that, I added a thin film of solder to a fuse to thicken the blades a bit. It worked great, I then made up a half dozen spares and labeled them just for that socket.
