passenger tail light not working
Yesterday i relized my parking lights on my passenger side were out. My brake lights and reverse lights worked fine. I changed both bulbs today because they were both blown. They still didn't work so i checked the fuse and it was also blown. I changed that and it worked. Later i went for a 10 min drive and come home to the parking lights being out again. I tried to put in a new fuse in and it immediately popped. The bulbs in the tail lights were not blown tho and i then noticed the parking light in my headlight was also not on. At this point i came to the conclusing i have a dead short. I had a body shop install jdm headlights about 6 months ago while i had so body work done. My question is could it be that the body shop messed up and theres a worn through wire somewhere? Is the front marker light on the same fuse as the tail lights or that on the low beam headlight circuit? Any help would be appreciated i would like to resolve this quickly so i don't get a ticket

If your blowing fuses, putting another fuse in will not fix the problem.
I would check the tail light assembly connector itself and surrounding wiring for shorts. Also check the bulb connectors for deformation.

So what is the best way to fix this problem because im having the same problem to the passenger tail light doesnt work not even if i put the brakes on now. The driver side works fine. Should i check all the wiring and change the fuse or ...?

I fixed mine yesterday and found it was a loose and exposed ground cable behind my stereo. I covered it with electrical tape and re-tightened it. I also cleaned my battery terminal, since it was making a buzzing sound and had a lot of green build-up. Everything working properly.

I had just installed a new radio when I posted this years ago. I took out the aftermarket radio and found out one the illumination wire from the radio wasn't attached and was touching ground. The wiring diagram showed that the radio and tail light harness were all connected. As soon as i fixed the radio wire it fixed the fuse blowing problem i had to the tail light. Hope this helps.

My issue is different, my front parking lights works as should.....my rear parking lights are not. Neither the driver nor passenger bulbs light up. I tried replacing with both halogen and led and no dice. Is there a fuse sorely for these bulbs?
