    Taillight not working on drivers side of 2012 SR5. Passenger side works fine. Swapped taillights and the problem follows the drivers side. Bypassed socket and I’m not getting and voltage to socket. Are each side fused individually? Could the trailer socket play a part in it? Need some other things to check for please. I wouldn’t think rodents since everything else works fine.

    All 3 bulbs on that side not working? You can replace that harness if needed. You should be able to take the harness from the passenger side and move it over for troubleshooting.

    Thanks for the reply. The only one not working was the taillights. Everything else was fine. I ended up running a jumper wire from the taillights on passenger side to the drivers side. Everything is working now.

    Sounds like a bad socket or shorted wire.

    Yeah I was thinking it was a bad wire but hard to track down.
