When the wife came home after I had parked the truck, she said the passenger
side taillight was on. I went out to look at it, sho nuf, it was the only
one on. I took the tailight assy. off and wiggled a wire to the socket that
was stuck on, and it went off. Put the assy back in then tried the lights,
on, off, on,off, ect. Seems to be fine now. What would cause a light to
stick on like that? Thanks. It's an 03 Ranger if that makes a difference.

Maybe your brake switch on the pedal was stuck and you bumping the
truck while working was enough to correct it temporarily. This theory
would also require that the opposite side bulb was burned out or you
would have noticed both lights on. Does the other side work or is it
burned out?

The light that was stuck was the top light, the tail light. Other one, right
side worked fine. Thanks.
