Q: top pass tail light socket not working
Pass taillight top socket only not working. I've changed all 3 1156 bulbs, tested wiring w test light, switched bulbs around still don't work. Noticed ground wire current very dim with test light. Also the little wire connection for ground rusted off so I put spade connection to test but still not working.
