intermittent brakelight and turn signal
 
The idiot light came on and I thought it was the bulb so I replaced them I noticed them go on and off when I touched the wires going in to the plastic plug! Now sometimes they work sometimes the don't it sounds like a bad ground to me but I'm not sure where to look? This is the left and right side ! I checked threads and did not see this one. Thanks for any help you may have![:@]

Look at the bottom of the socket where the bulb 'nubs' meet the socket connections. I've seen them be flat and make poor contact.
Sometimes it's possible to build up some solder on top of them to fix the problem.

Check for continuity at the bulb sockets...that will tell you if the problem is up-stream from there. Check out this post for more info: https://www.hondaaccordforum.com/m_34058/tm.htm
