Rear Tail Lights Out

[rcgreg]

Howdy - Anyone know which fuse controls the Rear Tail Lights & side lights? Mine are out. All other lights (Headlights, Turn signals etc. work fine) My owners manual does not seem to have a listing for that fuse - or if it does it is called something else.

Thanks !

Did you ever figure this out? I am having the same problem and cannot find the fuse in question.

Yes I did, take a look under the spare tire carrier, there you will find the wiring harness for the tail lights connects to the main harness of the truck. Apparently these connectors fail quite often due to dirt, moisture and a location that pretty much sucks. You can replace the connectors - or do what I did, just solder the wires together. I think the fuse is number 17 on the fuse block - if it isn't blown - the connectors are your likely culprit.

If the dash lights are working the problem will be in the wiring like was said..

Looks like mine was in the connector also, thanks for the tip.
