Yes! The Excursion was not lighting the left rear and when in service bay it worked fine. As they were backing it out and stopped I noticed the right was lit and left was not. They were like well I'll be damned. They were suprised but immediately went to the mfs.

Played with it over the weekend, began troubleshooting in a failed state. It wasn’t until I touched the socket that it started working. Hmmm. Then couldn’t get it to fail again. I replaced the bulb with a spare I had.
No posited back and forth to work today.
