Brake lights work but tail lights do not....need some help

There are actually 2 fuse boxes in there. 1 is clipped onto the passenger side bulkhead vertically. Once you get it loose and remove the cover, the fuse you need will be in there. If memory serves me right it is a 10 amp fuse. (Red in Color I think, not Maroon which is 7.5 amps if I remember correctly) Swap that out and you'll be fine.

You can get fuses at any car store, this is what you want:





If you see the little strip inside is clean and unbroken, the fuse isn't popped. If it looks charred inside and the connection is broken, the fuse is blown and needs replacement.

Here is a link to order a set: LP MINI Fuses - Low-Profile MINI® 58V Blade Fuse - Littelfuse

I always keep a pack of replacement ones in the glove box just in case something pops.
