brake/tail light

Aaron, work on the connection, and the ground. A high precentage of the tail light problems are bad connections or grounds.

With the lights off a battery terminal brush is good to use in the socket.

Replace the bulb, if it works it's too cheap to argue about.

You will have to spend time hunting the problem, and you can do it. :-)
