One of my tail lights doesnt work anymore. The bulb is fine.

It appears there is a loose wire in the engine compartment. Seeing as there is no bulb, or socket for that matter, for the front turn signal/running light.

I need to know wich wires to splice so I can get that light working before I get a ticket. So far, since I know all the officers and I work with the EMS, I havnt gotten a ticket yet.

The common cause is a bad ground.
With the bulb removed, and the lights on check to see if you have voltage at the socket. Then check to see if you have a path to ground from the socket.

Ille try that when I have some time. Its not just that tailight that doesnt work, its all the running lights on the right side. Could it be one of the smaller fuses? Because 2 of those are out.

Is there a diagram somewhere for the fusebox? Because the little diagram on the cover for the fuses only shows the larger ones.
