Default Right taillight and blinker not working

Ok guys im back y'all really helped out last time with my starter relay and ignition fuses. This time my right taillight seems to have went out when I apply the breaks and the blinker stays lit when I put the right signal on any suggestions to fix this problem??

when I bought my SS/T last august I had the same problem on the left side
ended up being corrosion and lack of contact tension inside the bulb socket
cleaned them with folded up piece of 400 grit sand paper and got in there with
a pick and bent them out ever so slightly


and dilectric installed new bulb and no problem since

yep, try giving the socket contacts a cleaning. I don't see where contact cleaner would hurt just make sure its dry inside before grease and new bulb
