Brake light shorting? My 97 850 has a very frequently recurring issue of 850

the right rear brake light going out (light on the dash when you hit the pedal and indeed, light out in looking at it.) However- if I knock on the outside lens it comes back on for a bit, but goes out again very soon. Common problem? Let me be the first to say I'm taking the low road here. :) I haven't really had the time to take a close look at it at home, may just be a loose socket or something like that. Certainly not trying to waste anyone's time, just thought I'd see if this is a known trouble spot. Hoping to hell it's not one of those "well, the use of the tailgate may have screwed your tailgate wiring harness and you are in for a subsequent B*#ch of a job tracking this down..." That would suck. :) Many thanks!
