Dim Blinker Help

My left rear brake light and blinker bulb is really dim, dim enough to not be able to see the blinker flash. I have tried different bulbs. The right side along with all other bulbs (side markers and front turn signals) is really bright with no problems at all. The contacts are clean. The contacts are clean. Any help?

Re: Dim Blinker Help

contact area, socket problem or more than likely...bad grounding.....remove the housing and clean the areas that contact metal...reinstall with new or cleaned screws.
