Default Help With Rear Tail Light!

My driver side tail light is out, tried several bulbs and no luck. Is there a fuse I can check, if so where is it located?

Thanx!

Clean the bulb contacts, they get corroded over time.

I feel like if a fuse was blown it would affect both tail lights rather than just the one. If cleaning the contact as suggested above does not fix the issue, possibly check the wires going into the plug that connects to the tail light bulb assembly thing. Small possibility that one of those has come loose. If you wiggle the wires and the tail light wakes up, that could be your culprit.
