If I buy this part off ebay (does Peach Parts sell it?) do you think that it contains all of the electrical parts that are in question/problem? Look at the second picture on eBay (shows the underside of the brake light assembly).
thanks!

I doubt that a new assembly will be a permanent solution but it might be. I cleaned the spring contact and put a blob of solder on it so it would again press firmly on the recessed plate contact. I have about 5 years on the repair.
