I have a right rear tail lamp assembly that is not working. I replaced the whole tail lamp housing and still do not have a right brake light. Does this sound like a bad wire or maybe is it fused to one side? Or could it possibly have a fusible link? Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Under the hood is a power distribution box. Open it and check for brake light fuses. Let me know what you find. If there is nothing there, check to see if there is power to the light.
