I would have to guess that it might be damaged internally if that is possible as the outside of the sockets look great. No corrosion or damages.

Correct me if I am wrong but I do believe that the seal(s) have failed letting oil leak out from the center part of the turbo where the shaft gets fed with oil.

Yes we are talking about the reverse lights and I took apart the dash to better get behind the fuse panel to check the wires. I’m assuming the switch works because the volts are 0 when not in reverse and 11.6 when in reverse. The voltage drops as soon as the bulb is plugged into the socket and the bulb does not come on. Could I just splice into the ground wire on the connector for the reverse lights and find my own ground on the chassis? I have already removed all the wiring from the trunk and all the way up to the fuse panel and found nothing.

Well it has been awhile since I have been on here but here is an update. I have 12volts at the switch, fuse, and socket(only when bulb is out). When I put the bulb back in I get .16 volts. When I keep the bulb in and plug the socket assembly into the brake light connector and press the brake the bulb lights up. When I plug the connector for the reverse light into the brake light socket and put the car in reverse the bulb doesn’t light up and the voltage drops. I don’t know what to do or look for or if it still could be the switch…I bought some bulbs which wasn’t much, but I don’t want to keep buying and replacing parts if they are all still in good working order. I was so frustrated that I thought it might be something loose behind the fuse panel so I had to take my whole dash off to get behind the panel to just find nothing…that was a wasted three hours lol! If there is a way to easily fix this problem without having to take apart the dash again I would love that, lol! Thanks for everyone’s help by the way!

I just checked and the voltage was going to the fuse then I checked the connector for the switch and that was getting voltage so I am certain that it is the switch needing replaced, however I don’t have a clue on how to go about replacing the switch. I know I have to unscrew it with a wrench just don’t know what parts I have to remove to get to it. I have an aftermarket intake on my car so it frees up some space to get to it. If anyone has replaced this and has a step-by-step instructions would be greatly appreciated!
