Q: Small electrical problems with my lights.
I have a couple of small electrical problems. The rear driver's side brake light and turn signal only work intermittently. I believe it might be a problem with the bulb assembly or wiring at the lights. I can sometimes get it to work when I have it out by moving around. I've tried replacing the bulbs and the fuse, but the problem still persists.
