No Right Rear Brake Light/Turn Signal M1008

I'm slowly working my way thru this new to me 1008. I replaced quite a few bulbs and a 20 amp fuse, not sure which one as I don't have manuals yet, and have all the lights working except the right rear brake light and turn signal. I put in a new 1157 bulb that works on the left side. The running light works so I know I'm getting power to that bulb/socket. The turn arrow stays lit solid when I put the right turn signals on. With the 4 way flashers on both arrows blink and all lights flash except the right rear. The left rear brake light works but not the right. I pulled the bolt and cleaned the ground wire eye and frame area where it mounts. Is there a separate ground I'm missing? Any help appreciated...When I got this Gen 2 was not working. The light stayed on when running and I got battery voltage on the tester. After a light pressure cleaning of the engine compartment, pulling and cleaning the plug at the alternator, and replacing a fuse it's started working. Now it takes much longer for the Wait light to go out before starting, but Gen 2 is working.

The ground tab inside the bulb socket is more than likely broken or corroded. You can get a replacement at the parts store.

Manuals are free to download.

Easy to search on a computer too.

Thought I'd post what I finally found. One of the wires was pulled loose where the wiring harness coming from the front plugs into the rear harness. This is a 6 wire connector. Someone had spliced three wires into the rear harness, apparently for a civy trailer harness, and pulled this one out of the plug. Didn't take TOO long to find it.
