Is that the one that makes the turn signal shut off? It hooks on two places
and makes a pointed plastic lever flip when the index passes it.

The tail lamps ground to the body via the three screws that attach the
lamp body to the body. On my '99 the brake lamps weren't working
(except the CHIMSL). After scratching my head I took off the
tail-light lens and then the three screws holding it to the body. The
screws were rusty and the holes in the body were too.

I wire brushed the screws and used a pick and small wire brush on the
holes in the body and then put a dab of carbon filled grease on the
screws when I put it back together.

Works like it was supposed to.
