Default Taillight Not Working (It's Not the Bulb)

Ok, i changed my bulbs thinking it was as simple as that, and they still dont work...my reverse light works, brake light works, but the taillight and the red corner light dont work (driverside rear)...i have a fuse tester and checked a number of fuses...i dont have the chart that shows which fuse is for which, so if anyone could get that posted that would be cool...or if ne1 knows why they arent working write back...

I don't know too much about the wiring harness for the back, but could the wire for those lights be corroded or something? just tossing out ideas here

I have the same problem. my brake light and reverse light works. but no turn-signal light from the drivers side tail light. I've checked everything out too. All the fuses and bulbs are good. anybody have any suggestions for us?

First make sure you have the right bulbs, then I would check fuses, then I would test wire connections and check for voltage along the circuit. Lights are run parallel so that if the circuit is open to one bulb the others won't go out.

Needspeed-

Yes, all of my hazard lights and EVERYTHING ELSE work- EXCEPT the drivers side rear turn signal/hazard signal. The turn signal and hazard use the same bulb. Yes, i have checked the bulbs and they are fine.
