Topic: Tail light question??

[JustJeepin02]

My tail light in my 88 wrangler has me quite confused. Since I don't really know much about wiring then it doesn't take much. Either way my passenger side blinker works, brake light works, but running light doesn't work. Obviously it isn't the bulb because the same bulb is used for all the above mentioned. Any help would be appreciated.

it may be the same bulb but there are three different wires (not including the ground)...pull  the light and make sure all of them are still connected/in good condition.

It's an 1157 bulb...  Dual filament....  start buy checking the obvious, the brake light and blinker are the same filament in the bulb, while the running lights are on a different filament (within the same bulb).  

I hope it's that easy.

Bulbs are always packaged as a pair...  Replace them both and save the one good one (from the drivers side) as a spare.
