need help with r/h taillight, not working

Hi,

im new to the forum as I've recently purchased an 05 liberty 3.0R-B.
im having trouble finding the cause of my r/h taillight (indicator, stop/tail & reverse light) not working. ive checked all the bulbs and they are all fine, i even swapped the l/h bulbs (which are working fine) to the r/h just to be sure. so ive eliminated the bulbs as a fault.
so im thinking since the fault is localised to all bulbs in the r/h taillight it would probably be a fuse? ive pulled out a few i thought it could be, replaced them with brand newys to be sure and ive had no luck so far.
so im wondering if anyone has come across this before?
otherwise im gonna have to pull out every single fuse one by one, and i thought id ask before i do that! haha.
or i might just take it to an auto elec?

anyways, thanks for reading.
josh

It may seem obvious but the wiring to the light itself is actually still plugged in with the loom connection? Hasn't come loose?

yeah i didnt think of that at first but i ended up checking that too, i un-plugged it and re-plugged it. also checked as much of the wiring that i could without pulling the boot lining out. all seems to be intact.

Do you have a multimeter to test the voltage at the loom plug to tell you whether the problem is upstream or downstream of that particular point?

no i dont, ill have to see if any of my mates do, or ill just take it to an auto elec i know faily well and hopefully it will be an easy fix.
im fairly sure the loom isn't getting any power because no globes from that loom are working.
ill let you guys know how i go at the auto elecs. thanks for your help :)

FIXED! The wires going into the loom were loose. i think where someone had yanked at them or something. anyways i re-did it and its all sweet now.

thanks for your help guys!
