GQ Tail Light Dramas

My passenger side tail light on my 92 LWB Ti Patrol is not functioning at all. Ive checked earth, fuses, bulbs etc. and all seems OK. Where are the tail light relays located? Do the tail lights have seperate relays?
Ive heard that due to thin wiring that the wire can wear through and short out on the chassis? Is this a possibility?

Have you checked with a test light to see if you getting power to that light? Are you refering to you reverse light,brake light and indicator as well? I'm pretty sure all the relays are under a black metal cover on the drivers side next to the main battery but if it was a relay it would more than likely cause other lights to not work also.
If it's not a relay i'd start checking all your plugs starting with the main one at the back of the tail light than working your way along the wires looking for breaks but it sounds more like a dodgy connection to me.

Cheers Mick.

The cluster wouldn't have all lights using a common earth?

From memory when I pulled mine apart the other day they do share a common earth.
The later ones with reverse in the body and lights in the bumper use an earth for each area.
