Default tail light ?

Ok so just bought this car on jan 21st. The right rear led tail light (not a euro or halo) is having a wiring issue i think. The light works when the running lights are on. It also works when the ignition is on acc but doesnt work at all when the engine is on. No brakes, turn signal, flashers yada yada. So if it was a fuse or short or something along those lines why would the inside passenger tail light work in all instances but the outer doesnt? Also just have to say I did the hvac dim light fix tonight thanks to the threads on this site. Went smooth as hell!

Can I make a suggestion? You'll probably get more technical replies in the C5 Tech forum. Your problem probably isn't unique to just a Z06.

Click on the red triangle beneath your user name and ask a moderator to move this thread to the C5 Tech forum. Don't double post the issue in both sub-forums, that's frowned upon.

There are a number of very knowledgeable members (non Z06 owners) who will more than likely reply to your question(s) in short order.

No...technical questions like this are best asked in C5 Tech. You might find some past threads in C5 Tech with search or search this forum (in the red banner).

I just don't know what keywords to suggest to begin the search though.

Try "tail lights not working" in C5 Tech using search this forum. That's in the red banner in the upper right corner. I just tried it and there were a few past threads. There might be some suggestions for you to check until you get this moved and/or replies once it's moved.

Whatever you find is the problem, update your thread so someone else may benefit in the future.

Yeah believe it or not I have tried searching the threads for a few days. But was probably in the z section. Yeah I will hopefully get it moved tonight after work when I can get on my comp. And I will update if/when I fix the issue.
