My left rear turn signal and brake light stopped working but my right side works fine. I replaced the bulb and it still did not work. I bought a new socket which has a red, black and white wires and the original are green with orange stripes, brown and gray. after trying all different kinds of combinations I still only get the tail light, not the brake or turn signal,the right rear works fine. s far as any fuses or relays they seem fine and look like one fuse and relay runs both sides. Help?
Thanks

im not sure what the wire colors are but i would use a test light and probe each wire. one should be hot with the tail and one with the turn(the brake is the same as the turn)and the other wire is ground. if no power at the wire for turn then you have to find and repair the open in the wire. hope this helps
