Default Reverse and license plate lights won't work.

I'm having trouble getting my reverse and license plates lights to work. I checked the fuses and it was good and just replaced the bulbs still wouldn't turn on . I found a connector that is not connected to anything but there is no other connector to hook it up too.

Do the reverse lights get power when in reverse? License lights while parking headlamps on? If not trace it back and see where it loses power if there's power at the fuse.

That connector is for the trunk ajar light. There should be a spade terminal on the latch assembly for it to plug into.
