1995 BMW 318is tail light won't work

[justicepool]

Hello,

I am having problems fixing the left rear tail light on my daughter's BMW. I have checked the fuses and replaced the bulb. There is power to the wiring harness, but there is no power around the metal grid that surrounds the tail light bulb. All other lights in that fixture work (brake, reverse, turn signal).
I am at a loss. I even purchased a used tail light assembly thinking maybe something was wrong there, but it does the same thing! I need to get this fixed so I can get there car inspected.

Here is a link to another BMW forum that I was able to upload a couple of pictures on:

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
