Rear Light Problem
So my main rear lights work but the ones that are on my trunk doent and either does my license light. I did change the bulbs and they were blown but nothing now. I have an 04 4dr civic. Any ideas?

I found the solution here

It happened on my 05 sedan. I noticed one day while locking it that the tails on the trunk and the licence lights did not flash.
At the factory they tied about 3-4 wires going to a single wire with a crimp type sleeve.
It seems to only affect sedans.
