Default Tail Light Issues

This is driving me crazy guys!!
Can anyone help?

Right rear indicator stops working - Pull housing out - All okay and indicator starts working fine.

5 Minutes down the road - Right rear indicator stops working - Pull housing out - All okay and indicator starts working fine.

. . . And so it has been going for 4 days now.

I've jiggled, twisted, squeezed the cables and fittings while the housing is out of the car but the little orange bu66er works just fine. 5 minutes down the road . . . no worky.

Any suggestions folks?

Fredo

If it works each time you pull it out and jiggle the globe around, if it has a negative tab that springs against the base of the globe, pull the globe out and bend the tab down a little bit further into the housing, then reapply the globe and it should be enough tension to keep the globe working, however be careful not to connect positive with negative otherwise zappage can occur.....
