Tail light stopped working..took it off and plugged into the other side and it works....so seems to be a short...anyone have any ideas?

 

Have you added any aftermarket wire harnesses/trailer lighting ?
Checked all the fuses ?
Checked the underside of the rear quarter panel for any damage to the wire-harness?

 

No aftermarket anything....haven't checked fuses, does that make sense when the brake, turn etc functions work? Where is the fuse box?

and yes I unplugged the wiring harness from the left side and took it over to the right to plug into that harness and it works over there.

 

Thoughts?

 

does anyone know of one of the wires is specifically for the tail light funtion? Could it a prong of of the plug or just a bad wire? Anyone now the color coding of the wires?

 

I'm still leaning towards fuses... you checked them?

 

I have not, I tried to figure out which fuse would be the one I am looking for but I could not tell. Anyone know?

 

checked fuses and they are good...appears to be a wiring issue unfortunately

 

Tested sockets good....wiring at harness good....does anyone know which color wire handles the tail light?

 

Check the connector underneath the truck near the spare.
