Perhaps due to all the years of vibration.

So I just pressed the lines back into plastic assembly and the bulb was tight in its socket and working again.

I noticed an extra un-used light bulb socket so I put the new bulb in there. None of the light settings or brakes seem to use this socket when I tested it so I put the new bulb in it so I could find the spare bulb when needed.

Anyone know what the extra bulb socket is for?
On the driver side it is a rear fog light.
If you turn your head light switch to on and then pull it out 2 clicks the rear fog light is activated on mine.

The passenger side is left blank so it won't come on and confuse people.

Hope this helps.
