A: The thinnest possible metal is used to touch the sides of the lamp. After a few years it just doesn't have any "squeeze" left in it. You'll have to jam some tweezers in the socket and make it touch the lamp again. Or add a toothpick for pressure. I do this regularly on my Peugeots from the 1990's. Soon, the same thing will happen to your license plate lights, and reverse-white lamp, red mist lamps. Second thought...is there also a brown or black or green/yellow ground wire to this socket? Follow it to a good solid unrusted grounding.
