Default Tail Light Problem
The rear driver side turn signal and one of the rear driver side brake lamps wont work. I have tried new bulbs with no luck, checked out the plug and made sure no cables were loose. Is there anything else I should look for?

Have you checked the fuse? Should be in the inside fuse box

Hook up a VMM and see if it is getting power.

Figured it out, the positive wire on both sockets wasn't making contact anymore, had to bend the pins in to make contact.
