C4 corvette 1 tail light works intermittently?
One of the taillights on my passenger side I thought was out, but it will work every now and then.I went to change the bulb thinking it was just out but, when I press my breaks all 4 back lights will light up like they should. but when I release the brake pedal, the taillight in question either works or doesn’t, but will always light up when break pedal is pressed. So is this a normal thing when the bulb is going, or is it a fuse maybe ?

There are 2 philoments inside of your taillight bulbs 1 for base lite 1 for break/hazard so to have one or the to work is not uncommon but all the same a dead bulb that needs attention.
As for intermittent I have more than one smacked a light to get it lit but in the end still a bad bulb

I've seen filament make intermittent connection like the before. Change the bulb. If the problem persists check the wires/plug on the light in question. When I got my C4 one of the backup light bulb sockets was so corroded it crumbled, I had to replace it.
