Snyderbrake and tail light problem
Thanks for the quick reply, Steve!
It's a 1989 Regency, 34', diesel pusher
Sockets are definitely crusty and the springs are loose too on most of them. 5 out of the six are working, some better than others but that left signal won't light up at all. Are they grounded independently or all togeather?
Thanks so much!

Steve VWI do not know the Regency wiring, perhaps one of our owners can comment. Good luck.

I think they are grounded collectively and independently. Steve has sent you down the correct path. I also suggest buying the electrical contact grease and contact cleaner. Clean the contacts, stretch the springs and use the electrical grease in the sockets. Check the grounds in the electrical box. My electrical terminal box is driver side, front basement box.
Matt, check
here for another message to you.

Tom and JulieEbay has replacement sockets for 99 cents each. Throw the old ones away!

MWrenchI certainly agree, replace the old sockets or you will forever be experiencing light failure. Once springs corrode they lose contact or the ability to maintain a good contact.
Grounding will never be the same from coach to coach. Just make sure to clean the area to clip back wire to find an area of clean wire to reconnect.
If it is obvious the area is or will be wet, try to protect or move the connection. Electrical grease will help but is not the cure all if the area is constantly wet or exposed to corrosive effects.
