Driver Rear Tail Light Issue
Recently, I developed what appears to be an electrical issue. I really do not know where to start but by telling you guys my issues and perhaps we can come up with something here. AT THE CURRENT MOMENT. I have no brake light in the driver rear, as well as when the lights are on and foot off the brake. Its definitely not a bulb. Ha. At first when I noticed, there was no directional, no reverse, no brake on that side whatsoever. Now I have directional, and reverse.
Also to add to this issue, I feel as if MAYBE the directional/multifunction switch could be an issue in relation to the tail lights. Its just what I've read on other forum topics. However at times my directionals may be on for a minute or two at a stop light blinking as usual and then all of a sudden they stop. NOT a problem to me, i literally have no care but my main issue is when Im driving at night and there literally is no tail light on the drivers rear. WHAT IN THE?
Thanks in advance! Ask questions, etc.

Found it! Excessive corrosion at the connectors behind the plastics in the hatchway. Literally, i think the accessory wires for the pre existing hitch fried the connector cause it literally melted. So i bypassed the connector and played the game of match the wires. Got all the lights working
