Default 1991 Volvo 740 tail light issue.

I applogize in advance if this issue has been posted before. I am new and did search before hand.

So my issue is my left rear tail light does not work. Every other light works, blinker(both sides), backup light(bothsides), right side tail light/brake light. After replacing the bulbs and everything and it still not working, I reread what each fuse does. I then discovered that my fuse had blown. Sweet, I think to myself, I was just dumb and this will fix the issue. Well, it fixed one part of the issue. My brake lights now light up as they should but my left side tail light does not work. Anyone have any tips at all?

Shift the left and right lights with one other and see what happens just to make sure both the lights are working ok.If they are both ok then I suggest you to clean the electric contact points for the left light with some electronic cleansing oil and sandpapper if you can.This should get it working.If it still does not work then make a fake (extra) wire connection from the right side light to get it working.Thats easiest.

Is this a wagon or a sedan?

It is a wagon. I will try swapping out the lights tonight when I get home from work.
