Backup Light

[Powerman5K]

The passenger side backup light has never worked on Shep. I finally dove into it today to try to diagnose it. Using a multimeter, I found there was barely 1 volt coming through the socket. I clipped the leads and test the voltage straight from the wires and found the voltage in the normal range of about 10 volts. I can't seem to find a new socket anywhere (Other than ebay for $30).

Anyone have any leads for a reverse light socket? Or am I tearing apart my current socket to find the problem? FYI, no visual problems/damage or corrosion to the socket.

Maybe this?

You can find knock offs to finagle something, BUT this is what I would get to ensure it actually fits in the tail-light assembly, and the price is reasonable.  BGY is a great site, and they are a pleasure to deal with.
