....but I feel it should be an easy fix. Any ideas as to the next most likely thing after the bulb? The front sidelights are fine. I am getting the "stop" warning on the dash. I don't think anything else was touched on the car since the service some months ago.
Thanks

Mine had a similar issue on a 2007/57 QP but only the rear left stop light. It wasn't the bulb but the holder assembly for their bulb.

It has three legs/prongs and one wasn't making contact. Just needed to bend the leg a smidge and it made contact fine...has been fine ever since.

I took the whole rear light cluster out as was easier. Only 3 nuts on the inside and unplug plugs for it to come out. Troubleshooting was with multimeter and some wire to check continuity with buzzer.

thanks, that was good advice. A bit of tweaking and we're fine. Good job as off to Italy tomorrow :)
