All,




Thanks for reading.


My issue is the Left tails light not lighting up.


Replaced the bulb
All other lights in the cluster work
Right side all bulbs in cluster work


I have run a meter across the +/- of the socket and compared it against the voltage from the right cluster and it appears to have a half a volt less than the Right side. (13.5 or so vs. 14.2) with car running/


which is the weird thing. I can see there is voltage in the socket on both the positive and negative yet the light will not work????


Is this difference in voltage of any concern?


Also had the fried ground that so many have experienced and followed a great idea from another post on how to address that.


On the plug, the Purple wire (next to the fried ground which appears to be the power lead for the tail light also has the reduced voltage so it doesn't appear to be an issue with the cluster it self.


Tracing back that wire, what would be causing it to have a reduced voltage? Is that reduction of a 1/2 a volt enough to make it not light up?
All the bulbs from that cluster all work fine in the Right one.


I hope I have explained my problem well enough.


Thanks in advance for any insight.


Regards,


Mark
