Right rear brake light out. Changed bulb, but bulb is also for reverse and
than functions properly. Pulled fluke and test light out. I have 12 v dc
at the pin for the brake light and I have a good ground so this is really
stumping me. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Examine the contact positions relative to
the ears... make sure you have the proper
bulb! Went through this with the sister's
Honda... looks like an 1157, but it's not!

v,
Since you pulled out a Fluke to check voltage I'm sure you checked
continuity of bulb filaments and cleaned contacts on bulb base. If you
still have old bulb compare contact pattern with new bulb. If
frustration continures you could always pull matching (opposit) bulb to
test socket and compare new bulb.
Good luck,

If the bulb works in another position, and a bulb that works in another
position does not work here, then the trouble has to be 1.) voltage to the
position, 2.) the ground at the position. The problem could be the contact
plate at the bottom ot the socket, this is spring loaded, and could be stuck
down so it fails to make contact with the bulb.
