Default Tail light help needed

My nearside tail light stopped working last night, ive changed the bulb and all the fuses seem ok.

Everything else works fine except that one light

i washed the car yesterday, could it be moisture? i doubt it though i check averything when i wash it and no damp was there.

Any ideas guys?

Cheers in advance

Take the plug off back of rear lights and clean up all the connections with some wd40 as most mk4 escorts end up having problems with rear lights playing funny buggers if not try a newbulb holder ...
