Right hand tail light not working

[Kano]

Hi, I was hoping I could get some help with a tail light problem. I have a GU 1999 2.8 Litre Nissan patrol. The left tail light works fine but the right tail light wont come on. Ive switched the bulbs and the right works on the left side so i've ruled it out being the bulb.
All the wiring around the light looks fine to me.

Is there anywhere else that I should be looking to fix this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

On my 2001 GU, it has tail lights, however no bulbs or wiring lol, Nissan got abit cheap. Lefthand side reverse light only, then the bottom bar lights.

May have removed the lead off globe try new globe or emery globe socket

Thanks threedogs I might replace the socket and see how that goes

Id say you have a loose earth wire on the back of your socket, cheak all wiring running to the rear of the lights. If the earth has come loose stick it threw the socket and then put a bit of solder in it

Thanks for your reply WYLD333, I just checked the earth wire on the back and its all connected and the main two wires into the socket are fine to. Think thats as far as my mechanic skills go haha.

I had a similar problem with my GQ it ended up being the dam scotch locks for the trailer plug.
Just worth checking first.

It might be time to get the multimeter out to see whats going on then easy to eliminate from there

With a test light check you have power (park lights on) in the Blue with a Black trace wire at the connector at the back of the RHR tail light.

If you have a genuine trailer plug fitted there will also be an extension harness plugged into this connector, so you will need to check for power going into the plug and power coming out.

If there is no power at this connector, the next plug is under the LHF seat.
