The right side tail light and plate light get their power
from from the left side. The first thing to do is change
the bulb, if this fails, use a 12v test light or meter (the
light easier in this case) and check the power wire
from left to right. If you have power from socket to socket, check the ground, if you have good power and ground and a new bulb. Replace the socket.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

Check your fuses. On these models you have a fuse for the right and left taillights. You have fuses under the hood in the engine compartment as well. If your fuses are alright, check your bulb inside the the lens.

The right rear taillight doesn't work and the bulb looks good. Does the right rear side have a fuse by itself, that could make the taillight not work?

It could be the bulb even if it looks good. Could also be a loose wire or even the connection where the bulb is inserted into.

2004 Trailblazer lower taillights not working upper work fine.

Tony, our TB's only have 3 bulbs, 1 brake, 1 running, 1 backup.
If you happened to be playing with NEW LED bulbs (from local retail location) for the brakes, guaranteed you blew the fuse under the rear seat. It takes a special CK socket for the brakes that no one carry's. If you're only dealing with normal incondecent bulbs, I'd still check the fuse under the rear passenger seat.

What would cause the blinker to blink very fast and the left rear blinker doesn't work.

You obviously have a bad connection somewhere in the taillight. Some trucks it is a common problem and the taillight circuit board is the problem.

You could have pinched a wire. Check to see if there is power going to the bulb by using a test light.

I need the proper fuse letter/code for right rear light...2004 jeep cherokee

what type of light? turn signal,taillight,or brake light. if the right rear isn't working but the left rear is on the the brake light or the taillight then the problem isn't the fuse(the share the same fuse). may want to check the bulb socket on the right rear. the contacts get hot and melt the socket and the housing.

The three wires to the tow lights have been cut, and i cant find where in the harness they are cut can i bypass it all and just rerun new wires?

Yes. But do you have seperate yellow turn signal lights in the rear or do the turn signals work independant of the brake lights? If yes then you need to wire in a taillight converter. It takes your seperate left & right turn signals combines them with your brake lights on 2 wires instead of 3 leaving you with your normal 4 wires in total instead of 5. 1 Left turn & brake light. 1 Right turn & brake. 1 Taillight. 1 Ground. = 4 wires in total. If you dont have seperate rear turn signals just find left turn wire in taillight assembly, Right turn wire & Taillight & a good ground & you are done. On trailer plug yellow is left, green is right ,brown is tailight & white is ground.
