Default Help...No tailights or corner lights

We have gotten a tremendous amount of rain here today on the east coast. My tailights and corner lights are not lighting up when turned on.

They turn on when I depress the brake pedal only. When I let go of the brake pedal they shut off again. I checked and replaced the fuse.

I am clueless here. Feedback is appreciated.

Circuit tested every damn fuse under the dash and under the hood.

Could the foglights and its wiring harness be the issue? Someone mentioned a faulty brake switch...you guys ever diagnose a faulty brake switch under the dash connected to brake pedal?

Combination light switch is what I am suspecting.......The #19 fuse under the dash has power to only one side of the fuse. Indicators do not light up steady when turned on but they do indicate when the appropriate turn signal is selected. When I press on the brakes with the parking lights to the on position, the taillights go on and so do the front parking lights. When I release the brake pedal with the parking lights still on, the front corners go off with the letting go off the brake pedal.

Check all your bulbs. I had a rear taillight bulb that its base has completely melted down. This was causing a short throughout the car and preventing my lights from responding accordingly.
