Default Rear lights - 80SC

The brake light on the passenger's side of my 1980 SC is either loose in connection, or the wire is loose. Does anyone know if there is a quick fix to a loose housing? The bulb screws in, but the light won't stay on unless you wiggle the bulb. Any ideas??

Thanks

Sometimes you can use a dentist's pick to get behind the metal tab that provides power to the bulb. Gently pull the tab back toward you until you're able to get better pressure against the bulb. Worst scenario is that you'll have to replace the housing.

Thanks Pete. I just don't want to buy a whole fixture, if it can be a quick fix. I check out your advice.
