Use a test light or meter and follow the voltage to the point that it doesn't get to the bulbs. If it does get to the bulbs verify the ground connection is intact. The O.E.M. taillight boards are very unreliable. Either replace with Zilla boards or go to Radio Shack and get some tiny nuts and bolts and put into the rivets. Refer to archives for these fixes. Some have also soldered the rivets to the foil to try to get a good contact. Sometimes bulbs look good but 1 side of the filiment has come loose and is just touching the contact. I flick the bulb with a finger and watch to see if the filiment is only hanging on at 1 end.(It will wave with only 1 end attached) This is a large cause of intermittant bulbs.

I also took the connector apart and lightly filed the contacts but the right brake lights still don't work.
