Longshot, but have you checked the bulbs? If thats not it I would assume that it is a bad gorund or bad resistance somewhere. There are a lot of grounds for the rear lights under the back plasic panel.

Hope that gets you started on finding the solution.

Bump for more answers.

I would think that if it was a fuse that all the rear lights would stop working. I dont think they switched circuits for left and right sides. Like if you blow the instrument panel fuse (gauge cluster lights) the taillights will go out too.

So I dont think it would be a fuse.

Thannnnggggggggs lol

And my guess, if both bulbs are bad, you have a short or a wire arching out. If the bulbs are good however, its a bad ground.

if both bulbs are out then there is a short before the wires to the lights break parallel from the circuit. or a bad ground
