Default Right taillight doesn't work

Both taillights work when I press the brakes, the right turn signal works and the bulbs themselves are ok, I tested them. The right brake light just doesn't work. I'm not sure about the switch but i don't think that's it because even with the light switch is unplugged the lights will automatically come on after 10 seconds but still no right taillight.

The manual doesn't mention anything about fuses or relays for the brake lights, I was hoping that was the problem but apparently not. Anybody have any thoughts?

Which light is it....brake or tail on the right side that does not work?

It turns out that one of the plugs on the wiring harness was bad and needed to be replaced. It was the main plug on the wiring harness that leads to the right taillight.
