All lights work except Right rear taillamp (driving light). All fuse/bulbs in order. Conected right to left side and it worked. Can you help?

Which model caravan do you have? Believe it or not, it's makes a difference in your wiring. There may be a control module inside the rear right trim cover that could be the culprit. Please advise.

We need to determine what is missing in you tail light, either ground or power. If ground, the ground connections are inside the left or right rear panel cover. If it's power, do you have a spliced-in trailer connector. You'll want to check this first. If no trailer connector, check factory connectors by the rear bumper. The problem has to be in that vicinity somewhere or you would have no tail lights at all.

This driving me crazy.
I have removed the entire trailer wiring harness, reconnected to original wiring.
Checked power all apears to OK. Grounds appear to be OK. All fuses / relays OK.
All brake lights, turn signals, back up, hazard lights work front and rear. Except for my passenger side drivivng lights (front & rear).
The bulbs work for all other functions but not the driving lights?

Any ideas?

Thanks Bill
