Best Answer

The most likely problem is one I have found on other make cars. The tail lights are truly assemblies on newer cars. Older cars had light bulb sockets which had to be removed from inside the trunk to be re-lamped. Tail lights now are completely removed from the body to be re-lamped. Most tail lights need to have a wiring harness unplugged fro complete removal. The back panel of the tail light then must be disassembled in some manner to gain access to the bulbs. This panel is where the problem lies. In the bottom of each bulb socket are pins which make contact with the base of the bulb. These pins can become bent or corroded and cause the problem you describe. (just got done doing a similar repair to my daughter's Grand Am. Bent pins not making contact).
