Rear tail lamp socket contacts are worn/loose which causes parking lights and brake lights to fail to show intention to brake and intermittently work. Repair or replace bulbs and/or bulb reseat adjustments do not help or only temporarily fix issue. Same problem as Camry's of the same year (NHTSA campaign id number: 96V037000). All 92-97 Corolla's I witness have the same problem/issue with failed tail lamps but the filaments are still intact/operational. Requesting that Toyota replace sockets.

The brake lights of my Toyota Corolla (1996 model) have been having some malfunctions on and off for at least a year. At first, I thought it was the bulb problem, so I checked the assembly myself. The bulbs are all ok. The bulbs will light when I touch the wires connections. The bulbs will be ok for a while (days, hours or days), but it will stop functioning some time afterwards. It seems there is a connection problem in the design of the tail light assembly. Since I am not an expert on it, I would like to report the incident. I have noticed the problem on same model cars on the road. To do a simple test, you may want to locate a 96/97 model with taillight blackouts. If the bulbs are ok, my statement will be valid.
