[TR] Continuing brake light bulb failure

[thenicholls at verizon.net]

  Jim,

Thanks for the reponse.  The scenario is I replace the bulb.  Bulb works
with lights on and when brake is depressed.

At some point in the future, when the brake is depressed, light does not
get brighter.

Replace bulb, all is well until it happens again.  Socket was replaced
with a socket that has a grounding tab.  Fiddling with the bulb, socket,
or wires does not cause an issue.

Thanks,
Craig

Apparently you ticked him off first.

All seriousness aside though, what exactly is happening to make the
light not work?B  Is the bulb blowing repeatedly?B  Is it just not
making a good connection somewhere?B  If you rig something to depress
the pedal can you then make the light come on by fiddling with the
bulb or the connectors or the ground?
