then you got a bad wire... or did you check fuse also?
2 :
If it was the fuse, the right tail light and the front parking lights would also be out. It is probably a wire or a bad light socket.
3 :
2004 and 2005 had a problem with the contacts on the lens base where the grey , bulb, twist-holder plugs in. The metal contact in the base or one of the prongs on the plug-in twist-holder may be defective and look burned from overheating? When/if they overheat, the plastic base will melt and allow the contact to bend down and away from the holder contact?

it,s not the fuse or the other side would,nt work either. sounds more like a bad bulb socket. those sockets has a double contact and 1 of the contacts might be bad.
