Strange brake light issue

[firedemon]

being you found your problem something else to look out for , for others reading this thread . on mine the strain relief on the taillight housing was stuck to the wires that go through them and with the bulb having been in there for so long it kept the contact plate where the bulb contacts just enough away from the new bulb that the power wasn't getting to the bulb . I spent the better part of a day testing and putting in new grounds and 4 or 5 bulbs before I found that one .
