Rear tail light problems....
My left tail light is currently out and not working.
I have checked the fuses and know its good, also the right side tail/brake lights are working and I know its only 1 fuse that power's both sides. I have tried switching the light bulbs and that didn't work. I have also tried swtiching out the the tail ends of that connected to the power and this also was not successful. Any other things I could possibly try? |

Does just the tail not work, or do both the tail and brake not work?
If it is both, try jumping the white/black wire to a solid chassis ground and see if that makes it work again.

My question was - On the not working side is both the tail light and brake light not working or is just the tail not working?

Them both not working points to a ground issue, as that is the only thing common about them. By jumping it to a chassis ground I mean taking a piece of wire and making connection between the pin on the taillight connector and a chassis ground point (bare metal). Since the other side is working, you can also jump from the white/black wire one side to the other.
