Fiesta - Lights Problem

    I have a 99 Fiesta and the side light and tail-light are not working on the drivers side. The same lights on the passenger's side are fine and all other lights within all light assemblies work fine. Headlights, indicators, reverse all work fine it's just the side light and tail-light on driver's side.

    Any ideas ? And it's not the bulbs:)

    Get a multimeter and check if the bulb connections are getting 12v. If they are, check the connectors for signs of corrosion. Also, make sure the electrical connections are fully pushed in to the bulb holders. Disconnect them and reconnect them to be certain.

    Tried that already and no power is going to the tail-light or side light but as I have said power is going to the bulbs within the same light assembly
