Question:
CR-007 turn signal is fine, brakes are fine, right running light not The truck 2013 F-150 XLT Lariat wiring appears to be fine, but will be checking that to be sure. Assuming thats true, Im thinking that either a bulb is bad or a wire is loose If its a bulb, how in the world can I replace it? Does the front cover come off somehow? If its a wire, then what? Also, theres a red wire coming out of the bridge box on the line and it runs to the middle light. What is that for? Is there a wiring schematic available for this? Thanks.

I first recommend testing the 4-Way connector on your F-150 without the Pilot Light-Up Trailer Hitch Receiver Cover # CR-007 connected. You can test each function on the connector with a circuit tester like # PTW2993. Check to make sure you are receiving power at the appropriate pins while a buddy sits in the vehicle and activates each function.
If everything checks out okay, I also recommend verifying that the white wire on the vehicle side connector is grounded firmly to a clean, bare metal surface. A bad or weak ground can certainly lead to just the right running lights not working on the vehicle.
If all looks okay, then you very well might need to replace the bulb on the right side of this light. This unit does feature replaceable bulbs, for which you can use # A1157B. The unit has a snap-on lens that you will just need to pop out of place to gain access to the bulbs for replacement. There are no screws that will need to be removed.
The red wire that you mentioned coming from the unit is actually just used to connect with the small fuse box on the interior of the assembly (which is done at the factory). This wire does not run to the 4-Way and will not be needed for installation.
