Drivers side rear brake light

Seems like I am having a odd problem. I have this working and not working brake light. It will work on the way to a store (two or three mins.) and will quit working clear out of the blue on the way home...... then work agagin when i leave again...... then stop again. Has anyone else had something like this happen to them?

Connections, more over the ground is probalby the culprit. Another possibility is that the lamp has a broken filament and through vibrations it is intermittantly touching the support and working then bouncing free again.

Take a look behind the left side tail light...like inside the quarter panel.....its a known problem area.....there and where the wire folds as you close the tailgate. Make sure you dont have any wires that the insulation is shot and the wires look all corroded and *****. Just take a good look in there for anything that looks like it aint clean & tight.
