    right tail light won't work


    I have checked the bulbs, the fuses, everything that I can think of. Right rear brake light works, blinker works, but no tail light. Any ideas? 89 325I

    Same thing is happening to me. Only my problem is on the my driver's side tail...and my from side marker if that helps at all. Come on you electrical geniuses, give us some advice.

          Eh, clean off any corrosion at the bulb socket and the plug where the whole tail light base connects to.

          Thats all I have.

            Sounds like a broken connection in the bulb holder. Take it out of the plastic housing and check any soldered points for cracks. It there aren't any hit the yards for another housing to test with to make sure it isn't wiring.

            Wait! I believe I have a set of good bulb holders out in the garage....... one for each of ya. Pm me if interested.
