I use to have that year explorer and when I replaced mine, I removed the whole assembly and found the wire connections to the light socket all corroded. I would first remove the whole fixture and check behind it for a bad wire or connection before going further. If the wheel-wells behind the rear wheels are rotted at all, then water & dirt are slung up into the rotted area hitting the back of the light assembly.

check the rear lower bulbs, if good nore than likely brake lamp switrch on brake pedal, 3rd lamp rns of separate circuit

here's 2005 Explorer. 2006 was a new model, but I don't have it. This should be similar

I just changed my rear turn signal. Really easy. There is two 1/4 inch bolts visible when you open the tailgate. Take both of those out and gently lift the light housing out towards the outside of the vehicle. There is two small clamps on the other side of the fixture that just slide right out when you pull on it. There you go

Open the rear hatch and there will be 2 screws on the door jam holding tail light in.

For the brake light open the rear hatch and check beside the tail light. I believe ther is 2 phillips head screws right where the light meets the rear hatch on the body panel. remove them and gently yet firmly pull the lens assembly from the corner of the rear body panel. Squeeze the clips on the back of the socket and twist to remove the socket from the lens. Push gently on the bulb and turn carefully to remove light from the socket replace the light and reverse removal procedure to install.
