Default wiring problem

Just throwing out a post to see if anyone has any ideas. My passenger side lights stopped working. The headlights both work but the turn signal and the brake light does not. Only on the passenger side, which makes me think it isnt a ground issue? Any ideas? Thanks.

Ground or most likely a socket problem. Run a power and ground test wire from the battery so you can test the power wires to the ground wire and the ground wire to the test power wire using a multi meter. This will tell you if your socket is bad during various levels of operation.

I would check the harmonica connection at the lower end of the steering column(multiple pin socket). It is also possible that your signal switch has failed.
