Message Earlier today all brake lights went out. Found out from a thankfully friendly police officer. After testing all the fuses and relay points, I narrowed it down to the rear Stop/Tail Lamp Sensor. While trying to test the voltage from the FSM all the lights came on. If I wiggle the wires back and forth going into the sensor I get the following combinations:

1. All off
2. Just 3rd Brake Light
3. Just L&R Brake Lights
4. All lights

In searching I haven't really seen this issue. Most results show a completely blown sensor or another issue with the lights. I can order a new sensor, but I am wondering if its an issue with the wiring/connector to the sensor and a new sensor wouldn't help. Would like to save the $100 or so if possible. Anyone else experience this?

I pressed all the wires into the connector and then hooked it up and everything works currently, but I imagine it will wiggle loose soon. Just wanted to get some feedback if possible from anyone else who may have this issue.
