Hi,

Since it is only the right side and it affects both the right parking light and the right-side license plate light, I suspect fuse 29 in the under-hood fuse box has failed. It powers only those two lights.

I attached the wiring schematic for the exterior lighting system below. I highlighted the wiring for those two lights. See pics 1 and 2.

I need you to check fuse 29 in the under-hood fuse box near the battery. in addition to testing the fuse, confirm there is power to and from it. Here is a link you may find helpful:

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
