Default right rear blinker/reverse lights not working

88 245, suddenly the right rear blinker went out, and when testing everything out noticed that the reverse lights were not working as well. The reverse lights may or may not be related.

If anyone knows what could have caused this, other than the light itself (its fine) or the fuse (it's also fine) I would appreciate any insight.

Thanks

Do you have power to the socket?

sorry, I haven't had internet the last few weeks so have to use a neighbors computer.

Solution. Didn't turn the black bulb holder all the way in. For some reason the bulb doesn't work if the bulb holder is turned all the way into place. Bad connection?? Who knows, but the blinker and the reverse lights work great as long as they aren't turned all the way in.
