Why is only my passenger taillight out?

I literally just did this “repair” this morning. I was attempting to figure out why my front rt. turn flasher wasn’t working, noticed that my rt. rear taillight was not illuminating, the bulb looked fine, but was loose and not contacting the metal tabs in the housing, pulled the tabs out with a small pick and now the taillight works as it should, as well as my front flasher.

It was nice to have the fix be so simple, and a good reminder to check that all bulbs are making correct contact in their housings before going deeper and pulling things apart.

Do the lights work with the hazard switch?

Hi Zuch, yes the hazards work along with the brake lights. Just the right front and rear "marker" lights don't work. Thoughts?

Thanks!

Canton police.

Removed the headlight switch. This wiring concoction (thin red line trace) seems interesting for the right-side lighting... Thoughts other than calling the Canton police?
