Default Electrical Problem

water got into the trunk of my 1999 Jaguar XJR. Initially I lost the two brake lights (the center mounted rear window brake light continued to function), door locks, trunk release, back up lights. I checked all 5 fuse compartments and the fuses tested fine. The brake light bulbs tested fine. Over time all functions have returned except for the two rear brake lights. When pressure is applied to the brake, the Dashboard warning light indicates "Rear Bulb Failure" I switched relays and can feel the relay clicking when pressure is applied to the brake but the lights still do not come on. Any suggestions?

The bulb holder has a history of corrosion and lack of contact with the bulb. Clean it and make sure it is holding the bulb firmly.

I have a 1999 xj8 and the passenger front and rear door window switch does not light up the drivers side front and rear switches do light up is there a fuse that controls the illumination of these window switches?
