Tail light issue and whatnot.

[Guesty]

My right tail light has an odd problem, it's technically out, but comes on when I break. Doesn't come on when the lights are on or using the blinker.

I stuck with the obvious that I know of, replaced the bulb which looked fine anyway and checked the fuse/s which were all good. Anyone know what's up? Really hate to take it into the shop over a stubborn tail light.

The what not is a dinging sound that seems to have just spawned all on it's very on. I'd write it off as cold metal getting hot (and hot getting cold) but it does it even after the engine is warmed up and while driving and it's painfully noticeable while the engine is off but eventually stops after a few minutes.

Sounds like someone flicking the back of a large pan and my best guess on it's location... from underneath if I went straight up I think I'd be right in front of the radio. Can anyone explain this one?

I recorded the sound with a cellphone too.
