Notice the right brake light does not work, when I move the light bulb around it turns on but my sensor is still on, displayed at the dash, now my brake light turns on but now I hear a clicking sound at my shift gear, also, wire to the light bulb smells like its burnt, fuse also blew out, put a 30 imstead of 25, could I have a short somewhere? Do I need to take it to the dealer? Help! Lol

If you need to wiggle the bulb, it means the contact is not secure and this can increase the resistance of the circuit. Though it works, the resistance being sent to the control unit could be out of specs and thus can turn the warning indicator on.

Fuses blowing out means a shorting and increasing the amperage is not advisable as it can cause wires to burn when shorting occurs. If you do not know what to do, it is best to have a specialist check it out. An auto electrician should be able to help you.
