Default Audi A3 Tail Light...One Bulb Won't Work!

Annoying problem...one bulb on my drivers side tail light won't work.

This is what I've tried so far:

Changed the bulb (tried numerous bulbs)
Checked all the fuses
Replaced the holder

Anyone have ideas as to what I should look at next?

Trace the wire from bulb to fuse & look for damage.

No, I'm still trying to track down the issue. Though, the other day I noticed that when I lock the car the non-working bulb blinks as normal. Does yours work like that as well?

Default anyone?

Anyone resolve this? Same issue, driver side lights in the hatch won't light. Also one light in the main body housing (think its led cause its built in) doesn't light either. Changed all bulbs. Nada. Anyone have a solution?
