Well, the taillight uses a set circuit to direct current to the individual lights instead of actual wires. This is similar to the circuitry on a Printed Circuit board. The plug distributes current to these circuits.

First make sure that there is current flowing to the plug using a DMM or test light.

Next, make sure the plug is seated firmly and that the contacts are clean and not corroded.

Finally, be sure no debris has entered the light and shorted the circuitry or that these circuits are not broken or corroded.

The problem likely lurks in these. If still no-joy, suspect the headlight switch.

Cheers!
