So went to get inspection and he tells me cracked tail light and no light for reverse light passenger side, no problem right. I order new casing along with new bulbs however when I put it all back together the reverse light and the reverse light only is getting power intermittently or whenever i wiggle something the right way so i am assuming its not a fuse and must be a wiring problem. how would i go about testing what wire is bad without going through the entire car? also could it be the fitting thing that the bulb sits inside?

I tmay be the socket where the bulb goes get a test light with engine off and key on put in revese and block wheels so it won't go anywhere then put test light on wire if it lights then it's probably the socket.
