Default right side tail lights dont work

I need to know where to get access to wiring diagrams, free if possible. I have tail lights on the left side and not the right side. I have checked and determined that I dont have power. I made the temporary connection from left to right and they lit up. The power is missing from the right side only. So, I dont know where the power originates. Is it only from the left side first? thanks

Default found fuse

Yes there are seperate fuses for left and right. Did replacing the fuse correct your problem and do you have a fuse layout diagram?

Default fuse diagram on google

That was the image i used for the fuse layout.

The tail light is fixed now. I will keep you all in mind for future use and to help others as i may be able to assist. I have experience and training in electronics and electrical low voltage.

I would appreciate access to the pdf file. I have 148,000 miles on it now and will probably need it in the future. The trans and clutch were just changed. I should be getting good life from the car from here on out. Thanks for the support.
