Outside Tail Light
I'm not sure what's happening, but my right-rear outside tail light doesn't always come on. This happens mostly after I close the trunk for some reason.
I would start the car only to see the tail light dashboard light on. Then I would get out of my car, give a love tap to the right-rear outside tail light, and it would come on. If I don't open the trunk for a long time, the tail-light works perfectly fine. It's only when I open and close the trunk that later on my commute, I find that I have to get out of the car and give another love tap to turn on the tail light.
Any ideas?

I have a similar problem with my outside tail lights, where giving them a tap makes them come back on. It appears to be independent of opening the tailgate.
Could someone clarify the fix? Is it to replace the whole tail light or check/repair something in the tail light to fix the loose ground/hot wire?
Thanks!
