Brake light out: Bulb contact melted through


Recommended Posts

I have no idea if this is an interesting problem, but I had a brake light out. Replacing the bulb seemed to fix it - but only for a little while. The next time I notice it's out, my roommate looks over my shoulder and says "is that corrosion on the contact?" I peer closer at it and see: Two holes!

 

Kind of nuts to me, but maybe when the bulb burned out, it shorted, and the increased current melted through the contact.

 

Still, I would have thought it would have blown a fuse before it melted a contact.
