[Kano]

Thanks Yendor, I just checked power at the connector (park lights on) and I had no reading. Ill check the plug under the LHF seat. Thanks for your advice

This connector is found directly below the LHF seat under the vehicle mounted to the chassis rail.

It is under a black plastic cover and is mounted on the outside rail.

If you get under the vehicle you will see the two wires harness running behind the black plastic cover.

From memory there a 3 connectors there. I will try and find a photo for you.

There should also be two Blue with a Black trace wires (one for the RHS tail and one for the LHS tail light) you will need to make sure you have power in both.

OK....my little black book tells me that connector C1 should be a black connector with 8 pins

If you look at the bottom of the wiring diagram, second connector along you will see the 8 pin connector

Pin 1 RHS tail light
Pin 5 LHS tail light

These pins should have the Blue with Black trace wires, the main one you are interested in is pin 1.

Does this have power going in and out of the connector?

There are some issue from ignition switch and some time this is not working in winter season.You want to used the lead off globe try new globe or emery globe socket and get good result.I hope you will not any problem from tail light......

Best thing is to check it with a test lamp or multimeter, otherwise you will be just guessing.....

[Rustyboner81]

can you wiggle the globe in the socket? if you can squeeze it a little so it hugs the globe tighter as its the socket itself that supplies the ground for the globe....i just did tjus with an indicator on my Q

and yes test lamps are golden here

Thanks everyone for your help. The tail light is now fixed. The blue/black wire was broken as it went into the trailer connection socket.

If you whack the lens and the lights come on replace the globes.. as over time corrigations wears the lead off the back off the globe. Just replace.Also check for scotch locs.
