The bulb socket is famous for malfunctioning in your model yr.
Get your girl to hold the brake peddle on while you wiggle the bulb to find that sweet spot. If it starts to work? Save your self further head aches. Buy 2 new sockets (Left + Right) replace both sides, and use electrical lube to protect the new sockets
