Default What's Wrong with my Brake Light?

After about 3 weeks of having the jeep my rear right brake light/turn signal went out. I changed the bulb and it fixed the problem. It's been about 2 weeks since I changed it and the same right rear brake/signal light went out. I'm assuming since it hasn't been very long that it's not the bulb. So just wondering if yall have any ideas on what the problem could be, and how I could maybe fix it?

Thanks for the help everyone.

Have you examined the bulb socket? Make sure there's no corrosion and good contact. Get a multimeter and check for good power and ground.

Make sure that there's no corrosion or burned terminals in the socket. If everything is good, make sure that the assembly is properly sealed and that there's no moisture getting in there. You'd more than likely see corrosion if there's moisture in there.
