View Full Version : Brake Lights / loose contacts

For some reason my brake lights started going out randomly. I found out that it was not the bulbs but just the contacts. If I jiggle them or sometimes slam the trunk they will go back on. I tried putting in new bulbs but it did not help. Is there something that can be done to fix this?

It seems to be on both sides and I even had the center light do it once.

I found something called "Contact Cleaner." I think I will give this a try first and see what happens. If not I will think about replacing them.
