Brake light problems
Hello everyone,was hoping I could get some help with a problem I am having. I have a 76 f-150 4x4 that is giving me a few electrical problems. When I hit my brakes both lights work fine but when i turn on my headlights and hit the brakes my passenger side actually goes dark until i let off the binders. I have checked the brake switch,bulb sockets and replaced both bulbs but its still doing it. Am I missing something simple? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

The passenger side rear bulb has a bad ground. This could be a bad connection from the little tab to the brass part of the bulb, a bad socket, or a loose or bad ground connection to the socket itself.
