if it's only 1 that isn't working and it's not the bulb then the usual suspect is a bad earth. Get a test meter on it and you should have no bother finding it.

Remove the Black cover inside the boot, approx 6"x4" behind the rear lamp unit.

You will be able to see a large Multi terminal Pushed (black) onto the inside of the rear lamp. Press the wire clip holding this and pull off the fitting, it will have wires going into the fitting plug so be careful not to tug these.

Sometimes there is a build up of corrosion on the terminals, so remove and refit a couple of times should do it.

Just to the side of the multi terminal plug is a Nut that holds the lamp in the body, loosen the nut and retighten.

Hi, unless you or someone removed something before, a kinked wire is a bit unlikely. You may have corroded terminals or even just a blown fuse!

Have you tried swapping bulbs from one side to the other so you can test them? It may be a waste of time just putting a different bulb in unless you know that one works!
