I have a Nissan Sentra 1996 and I´m having problems with my right turnig light at the back. It does not light up even though the socket gets enough voltage to light a bulb. I know it gets voltage because I have used a tester to check how much voltage it gets.

Ok, you have voltage, but do you have a good ground? Im not sure how hard it would be to replace the light socket, but trying a new one may tell the tell. If they are easy enuff to pull off, try the left one in the right place and see if the lights work.
If a new light socket doesnt fix it, look for connection problems and ground issues.
