Passenger tail light out
Recently, the passenger tail light went out. The bulbs and fuse were replaced but still don't work. Could it be an electrical harness issue or an issue with the connectors near the fuse box?

@kecia yes, it could be the harness. First thing I would check is the bulb holder itself. Remove it form the body and take a look at the contacts. Check for burn marks and hot spots. A lot of times that is where short occurs. IF that is checking out okay, then it's time to check the wiring harness for a short to ground.

I will check that! Another question, would I have to take it to get a diagnostic because that sounds too complicated for little ole me and thanks for responding
@kecia you mean to remove the rear light? You can do that. Here is an online guide for that. remove the "combination : lamp" take a look at where the light bulbs sit and where the wires connect. You can use a simple test light or a inexpensive voltmeter to see if you at least have power going to the light. Once you have the lamp removed take some good pictures of the wiring connector etc. with your question. That way we can se what you se and guide you further. 在已经存在的问题里加入图片
@oldturkey03 makes sense! Thanks
@oldturkey03 Posting this for the OP but you might need to turn the stalk to get power or it may show a false negative with 0V.
That was exactly what it was. Had to end up taking it to the KIA dealership and was charged $1200 for creating a separate harness only for the taillights. They confirmed there was a sort in the ground but could not find it.
