Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have an '88 560SL that when I hit a bump or shut the trunk lid, the rt. brake light wont work. Then all of the sudden it works some days. I am not getting juice to the taillight assembly. Also the left rear driving light goes out on occation. After trying to find the problem on the brake light, the right rear marker bulb does not work.
Thanks in advance for help.

Two things. The clips that retain the light bulbs into the tail light assy can break and cause this.
There is a bulb monitoring unit that can fail.
