Default Quick Help

I have a problem with my tail light not turning on at night but brake lights work... yes I have searched and found that others had similar problems, but only one tail light doesnt turn on so i dont have to change my yellow box or tail light relay right? I know its not the harness because I have a new one so the problem must be in the car, but what? everything looks normal

Do your running lights come on, or park lamps up front

this has happened to me before. There's like two parts in it; one part for the brake, one part for the running lights. One part of it may be out. Try changing it first
