I have been dealing with a electrical issue, I used to have all my lights working but now 1 reverse light not working, I have power going to the bulb socket, checked with new bulb, checked ground wires, even added a wire from tali light metal frame to frame on truck, the other reverse light works fine

I have tried both ways of inserting bulb in and I am using the single contact bulb-1156 i think that is the correct bulb or maybe it is 1157. I am able to touch socket contact inside with test light and it lights up, so when I insert bulb and touch side of bulb metal housing with test light, the test light again lights up

Try another lamp (bulb).  Clean any rust, or corrosion from inside the socket.  There is a spring under the plastic washer at the bottom of the lamp socket, make sure it is not broken.  You should be able to push the hot wire out of the socket, from the back, enough to see the spring.

Plastic is old and brittle, checked the positive contact and spring, I'm thinking it is ground wires soldered to the socket housing cuz I tried another wired grounded at tali light frame to the bulb socket and it works, so my soldering skills are not great when trying to resolder the OG wire to socket. DOC510, I CAN BRING IT TO YOU TO RESOLVER IT FOR THURSDAY
