Rear left turn signal not working

I noticed a small amount of water in my tail light housing in the left turn signal compartment. The socket looks a bit rusty, and the bulbs won't light. Is the socket in need of replacement? The fuse is fine.

Try cleaning and greasing the socket.

If it has corrosion, some baking soda will help. Anything you can get in there to manually clean it will do. Some lithium or bulb grease will lubricate and protect.

Still nothing. Any ideas?
