Is the taillight assembly what you are referring to as the "light bar"? What do you mean by adjusting the angle of the contacts? Right now I'm pretty stuck.
Yes... in the trunk... you have the harness that plugs into the bar. Remove the bar. You'll see the "circuit"(s). Inspect and make sure the metal of each contact is, well, making the proper contact. You can have the accessories powered up (key on)... and start plugging and playing until you find the anomaly.

Also... check my post #4 above.
