Two questions, did you check the fuses under the dash? That is where the headlight and taillight fuses are, not in the engine bay fuse box. Other question would be are your taillights still aftermarket or did you put stock ones on when you de-riced your ride?
theyre the stock ones, and come to think of my parking lights have always been a little weird, sometimes theyd be on, other times they wouldnt be, but i always thought it was the ebay projector harnesses [&:]idk, i'll check fuse 32 like right now

and Matt the switch works i think because my headlights come on when i turn it on, and then it works correctly wtih brights and blinkers to

idk thouhg, i'll be back in a bit with an update...

But if the switch has two contacts then the one that controls the tails might be F'ed up. Or the relay that drive them might be gone to relay heaven. LOL

checked that fuse 32 is not blown aand its all perfect, even replaced it to make sure, none of the bulbs are getting power (for neither the running light,s tails, or license plate lights), and i got pulled over again tonight for it. SHowed the cop the ticket, just told me to drive with my flashers on and that was that....seriously like out of ideas.

If you are still willing and capable, try this:

Use a multimeter to check for proper continuity between connector C601 in left quarter panel (see larger picture in earlier post) and the taillights.

Lack of proper continuity indicates that your problem is the rear wire harness.

Proper continuity indicates that your problem is the wire harness connecting the #32 fuse wire and connector C601.

You should also consider that the C601 connector itself may be faulty.

If it's getting this close to the "due" date, I would seriously just take it to the dealership and have them look at it for you, usually it doesn't cost anything to address the problem.

I agree with wes94si that you should also test whether the fuse receives power when the lights are switched on.

Check the ground wires on the tailights? If it isnt grounded it wont work. Check to see if the wire coming out of the fuse for the lights is getting juice.....ifit is, then youre just going to have to run a new wire, or follow the original wire and see where it is cut, or disconnected. I would also try......Checking the clips where the lights plug into the wire, make sure the fins are okay, make sure everything is touching......it could be just a loose ground or something simple.......just start by checking the wire behind the fuse for power, then go from there.
