Leading evidence: 'Repair with this' (1 discussions report resolution; 0 report an unsuccessful attempt). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'bulb itself' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Repair with this' (1 discussions). For that action, 1 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. The most frequently reported fix is 'Repair with this', supported by resolution reports in 1 discussions. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Reported fix
The bulbs tested good as well. Reseating the connector worked for me.

I did that a few times actually and cleaned the terminals too.
Use electrical wiring diagrams in the bentley manual

When I had this problem I used the electrical wiring diagrams in the Bentley manual and checked all of the wires in the connector - they were all good.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

My right side parking light, right side marker light and front right signal indicator light are all out. All the bulbs are good and all the fuses are good. Does anyone have a clue as to what this might be? All other lights are working fine. Rear lights, rear signals, license plate light, etc are all fine. Any trouble shooting advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Yep. I did that a few times actually and cleaned the terminals too. Still nothing and that doesn't explain why the side marker isn't working. It must be something in the harness but I have no clue how to manage that.

I'd get the wiring diagram and your multimeter and test the pins.
There are common chassis grounds under the frunk carpet worth checking.
I had problems with my left side and side marker. Headlights and rear lights.
I fixed with this:

I wouldn't be surprised if it is a switch, but rather than throwing parts at it, I'm a big fan of troubleshooting to find the failed component.
If you don't have ground at the connector, you know where to look. If you don't get power at the headlight connector, then it points to something upstream from that like wiring, fuses, relays or the switch.
Break the circuit down into logical segments, and test the segments until you narrow in on the failed component.
Or just throw parts at it. It's your money.
So I started looking at it again this morning and found this. The bulb it fine but the wire going into that plug was brittle. Where do you get parts like this? Still doesn't explain why the parking light in the headlight isn't working. Btw, the side marker is working. It was the bulb itself. I changed it out and it works.
808Bill nailed it!
I'm sure you could replace the wires if you are feeling ambitious. You could cut both ends off with enough pigtail to solder onto, replace them with new, properly sized wire and slide some heat shrink tubing on ahead of time so you can cover the solder joints.
For a quick fix, you can probably use electrical tape to cover the exposed wire.
I wonder if you could use "liquid electrical tape" for this fix?
It looks like you may have additional cracks forming in those wires.
