Default Passenger side taillight in reverse

Wont come on. The brake light comes on as does the blinker, but reverse light no. This is just the passenger side. Any solutions?

Also while you're removing the light fixture to check the bulb, inspect any wiring, you may have had a critter get to it or just a damaged wire in general, broken off at the connector (?).. Let us know

Thanks guys, Sorry been away awhile. tested the bulb in other sockets and it works fine. Inspected wiring and it looks fine, but I must have some wiring issue on that side because the drivers side works fine

Your missing either the 12v reverse control voltage or its associated ground at the bulb socket. you would need a multimeter or test light to confirm which is missing,then determine where the problem is. That signal splits left/right in the harness near the spare tire carrier. I've had to replace tail light sockets in the past due to corrosion. There is major dirt and salt action going on in the taillight area.
