Try using a temporary jumper wire between the socket shell and a shiny bare metal spot on the frame (not the bed, since the bed may not be properly grounded due to corrosion or a broken ground lead).

The bulb socket isn't properly grounded to frame.

Electrical / Brake Lights turn off if I have my lights on

1986 C10 2WD

I've had a similar issue before but this is new.

Right side tail light: Brake light works when pedal is pressed; if I turn the lights on, the light on the tail light turns on (same bulb, 2 filaments). But, if the lights are on and I press on the brake, the bulb just turns off. So no light and no brake light.

- Replaced Bulb, tried 3 different bulbs
- Replaced socket (previous one was also a newish one)

What could it be? The brake pedal switch? Ideas?

Trying to get time devoted to the truck during the holidays has been tricky. I've only been able to devote a total of a few hours over the past couple of weeks but every little bit helps. I've got the next 3 days off so I will be focusing on block sanding and getting the 2nd round of primer sprayed.
