more often that not my rear right brake light stops working and i get a warning on the dash,

BUT, the rear light keeps working all the time, its just the BRAKE light that doesnt work (intermittently)

when i take the blub holder out of the lighting case it is off, i wiggle the wires and nothing, i then take the blub out and put it back in and it works.

I wonder if i have a slightly faulty bulb holder so i wanted to order a replacement.

The Part number is 81598007,

when i look online i cant find one for sale. a few sold on ebay but no new part manufacturer.

Any thoughts on how i might fix the issue or where I can get the part

Sorry if it’s a stupid question but I take it you have tried replacing the bulb? I have had many a twin filament bulb that looks visually fine but one of the two filaments is intermittently failing. I’m sure it was the first thing you tried but just checking 🙂
