socket corrosion or possibly wire failure near the thing

Remove the Light cover and light housing ... like stated check the inside of the sockets (all three) and look at the body ground wire ... you may pull it and and clean the wire eye and the body to make sure you have a good ground .... Use Electrical Cleaner in the sockets and then maybe add some bulb grease .. but not too much to help with the connection.

Report back .
Thanks,

Can you be a little more specific? All rear passengers lights?
Stepside or fleetside?
