Electrical problem
1966 Chevy Corvair Two Wheel Drive Manual 54,000 miles

Right rear light for brake, lights & turn signal only operates when I turn lights on.
No problem with one on left side.
Changing bulb 1157does not help.

What may be the problem?

clean out the bulb socket, clean off the wires and check for crossed wires. Most important check the ground comming from the socket. Most times there is feedback in the circuit with a bad ground or bad socket.
