trace the wires from the back of the light bracket, through the underside of the fender, to the electrical socket on the left side panel. If the plug and wires all look ok you will need either a voltmeter or a test light to check for voltage. Start at the bulb socket and go back. Also look at the two wires that connect to the rear brake pressure switch. Make a jumper andshort them together. The light should come on.

Have you checked the fuse? It might have just gotten old and tired
