Park, Tail and Marker Lamps
The park, tail, and marker lamps, including the license lamps, are turned ON when the headlamp switch is placed in the PARK or HEADLAMP position, or anytime the headlights are requested. The PARK LAMPS fuse in the rear fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to the PARK LAMP relay switch contacts. The PARK LAMPS fuse in the rear fuse block also supplies battery positive voltage to the PARK LAMP relay coil. When the park lamps are turned ON, the body control module (BCM) energizes the park lamp relay. Current flow is from the PARK LAMP relay to their respective park and marker lamps and to ground. Ground is provided at G101, G102, G401, and G403.
Fuse Block - Rear
Left side of the rear compartment, behind the left rear wheel well
Did you check to see if the bulbs are any good? Is power reaching the bulbs? If not, why? Bad wire, bad fuse?
Until you find the problem assuming the bulbs are good, since the rear window brake light is good, you can always tap that hot line and run it to the hot of the bulb not working and now all will work.
Loosen up the housing and re-tighten, it may not be getting a good ground. Also, turn on the park lights and check for voltage at the fuse. Some auto;s have other fuses that work with other components. You can look in your manual and it may say fuse 14 is for park lights but look at other fuse locations and it will state fuse 25 is for park lights, horn, cig lighter, tow hook up. These are not the right fuse locations, just giving example of how it may be. Good luck
Hello: If you mean what turns the back-up lights on, the lights are controlled by the park neutral switch which is mounted on top of the transmission on the drivers side of the car. If you haven't checked the bulbs you need to do that first. Remove the rear license plate, then remove the screws that hold the molding behind the license plate then you can access the bulbs for the back up lights. If bulbs are good check the Park/Reverse fuse in the rear fuse block, if fuse is good check the reverse relay in the rear fuse block. The rear fuse block is on Left side under the rear bottom seat cushion.
if fuses are good and bulbs are good,it has bad grounds or the switch is failing,use voltmeter and ck for voltage at the bulb wire connections,if no voltage ck at switch end.if voltage present at switch then ck wiring between switch and bulbs.good luck
