HELPon the tail lights 2000 explorer

[obxnascar17]

Hi guys and and ladies, my passenger tail light went out on me and I have checked the fuse and have put 2 different bulbs in and the parking lamp works but no break light and the break light on drivers side does,any one out there know what could be wrong.

Is it just one side, or both sides?

If it's both sides, you'll need to check for power at and out of the brake pedal position switch.

If only one side is out, you'll want to probe the wires at the light with a multimeter or test light to see where the issue lies. I had a problem with mine just yesterday... I had water in the connector where the wiring harness plugs into the socket. All I had to do was open it up, spray it with some contact cleaner, and blow it dry.
