Small lights under the back doors, right rear directional and right rear brake lights don't work; rear left directional works unless the brake is stepped on or the headlights are on. Some of the rear lights that do work are dim
Wire supplying ground power to the lanp scoket is spring connection. Dur to both elements being on at the same time causes the connection to over heat. This heats up the spring acusing a pore connection. As time goes by, the problem is agravated until it opens.
Solution: Remove bulb socket. Remove wire,( Brown, two each). Clean wire contact. re streach spring. clean base contact with a small screw driver. Re-insert and apply white lithilum grease. Should work for a while. I have nor foung a direct replacement for the socket. it is rather flat and anither replacement may not fit in the housing.

Actually, the problem was a bad bulb that wasn't obvious, PLUS>>>>>> the positive wire to every bulb socket(?) had a small exposed area just as it came into the unit that was rusted. We sand-papered the spots, sprayed a drop of WD_40, and life is good!!
thank you all for your help!!!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!!!
Brake lights not working
rear door overhead lights doesn't come on neither does the map light in rear view
At night the back left lights are lit up, but the LED light in the rear as well as the right side lights are out until I step on the brakes then they are all functional. All bulbs are fine because they all lit up once you step on the brakes. What could be causing this issue?
