Rear Tail Light not working


Recommended Posts

I replaced the bottom rear taillight bulb only to see that the one I took out was not burnt out. After installing the new one, it still does not light up. Does anyone know if these lights are on their own individual fuse because I did not see anything in the owners manual.

No, each light is not individually fused. Look at the wiring and socket. Test using a voltmeter or test light. The wires are small gauge and may be damaged.

Doesn’t look like the taillight is cracked but Ive had issues in the past with sockets where water got in and corroded the socket.  Bulb was fine but socket was corroded and even with thieves good bulb in place it didn't work.  Your lights look good in the pic so probable an electrical issue.  Don’t discount loose connections and frayed wiring where it goes thru holes in the body structure.  Rodents are another issue as well.
