Still chasing the bulb out light when hitting the brake pedal

I went through everything today, again.

I changed out the bulb holders, and ensured a good clean connection to all of the contact points on the tailight assembly. For about one minute, I got the left signal working on both sides. I went into the house, tried it again, and I got the fast blink in the rear and no fronts again...all the while, I get the signal out bulb when I hit the brake pedal.

My Wife came out to assist with checking what lights were working in back and reported that everything worked expect for the top tailights. All brake, including the high mount are working. Reverse lights work, signals on fast blink, still no fronts.

Up front, i found the small light under the headlights full of water and the bulb holder a bit rusty. Those lights have never worked (I have had various lighting issues since I got the car...went away and was fine for a month but is now back with a vengence). Could these be causing the problem? I grounded the negative cables but that did not do anything. The running light portion of the front signals are lit when the headlights are on. There is a two element bulb in those.

I traced the grounds and they are all tight and appear in good condition.

Anyone have more things to check?

Many thanks,
Edmund
