You may want to check the dummy resistor in the connectors for the
front fog lamps. It’s a yellow plug behind the spoiler under the
front bumper. The leads may be corroded through.–

Did you change both of the dual stop light / turn signal
bulbs in the rear light cluster?
On non-Federal cars they have individual bulbs each serving
one of those lights but on Federal cars they are dual and it
is often difficult to tell when one of the bulbs is out
because the light still works.
Oh, and don’t forget the license plate lights!–

You’d probably be best to thoroughly clean the ‘‘corrosion’’ from the
bulb sockets and then giving them a coating of dielectric grease.
The corrosion is sometimes hard to see and get to: I resorted to
tiny strips of glass paper bent over the end of a skinny
screwdriver’s blade to get right in there.–

also make sure both high and low headlight filaments work and don’t
forget about the bulbs in the 3rd brake light on the rear parcel
shelf and also the fog lights in front and rear…lots of bulbs
are being monitored…–

uh uh
Clean all electrical contacts with electrical contact cleaner including
bulb sockets, especially bulb sockets. Coat with dielectric grease
[bulb grease on bulbs]
Usually works unless there are some other corroded contacts including
those on fuses.
Do a check of the archives using corroded, bulbs and the the like

True, true - except for the 3rd brake light. That is not monitored.
