Passenger rear tail light

Passenger side tail light has an intermitent fault where it doesnt work but the brake light does. Its an led unit, it works when plugged into the driver side. Ive replaced the chassis loom for a brand new one from autosparks. And ive cleaned the earth point in the engine bay to and checked all fuses on the dash

Is there anything obviousr ive missed?

Is the LED unit a bulb or a complete unit like you get in the LED upgrade sets?

Are you getting 12v to the plug or unit?

Have you checked Earth continuity and for voltage using a Multimeter?

From there, you can roughly I.D. The issues, and start to trace from there.
It could possibly be high resistance on the connector pins also, ensure they are clean and dry. No Guts, No Glory.

Just put test on and im not getting 12v to the plug

Ive checked and tested all fuses inside the cab and cleaned the earth that comes off the three plug loom and bolts to the bulkhead.

Any ideas where to look next
