I have a 2002 Ram 1500 and live in WI
My parking lights and tail lights quit working. After research found probable cause in fuse box. Disassembled and attempted to repair. After I put back together I still had no parking or tail lights, plus now no headlights or brake lights or turn signals. I purchased a used fuse box from Georgia. Cleaned and installed on truck. No lights at all with light switch. When I turn the key to on position the headlights parking lights and tail lights come on. No brake, turn or high beams, also fog lights don't work, wipers also not working now. What should I check next?

Both. If the running lights ( marker, tail, clearence, or parking) and brake lights are out since the rain, a tail light assembly is broken and filling with water enough to create a short to ground. If there's no broken lens, whitch normally only blows the bulb. Then, the problem lyes in the trailer light harness. the brown wire (tail) & green wire (left turn/brake or yellow wire (right turn/brake) must be bare exsposed that shorts to ground when wet. all the trailer wires could be smashed together damaged the plastic coating on them. no problem till water shorts to ground. The white wire is the ground wire make its not able to touch the other 3 wires or bare & wet. Tape wires seperate then replace tail/mkr fuse and brake fuse. That should do it.
UNDER THE HOOD THERE A LONG BLACK BOX WITH A COVER TO IT NEXT TO THE BATTERY AND IT GOES THERE WHEN YOU LIFT THE COVER OFF TURN IT OVER AND IT WILL TELL YOU WHERE IT GOES .....GOOD LUCK FINDING IT
Hello. Definitely check the fuses, but also check the ground for the lights in the rear end as your symptoms could also be the result of a poor ground.
Check your tail light fuse, on the dodge ram the dash lights and tail lights use the same fuse so if the tail light fuse blows your dash lights will go out to alert you of no tail lights.
If the fuse was melted, I doubt that all 4 bulbs went bad at once. It sounds like you have a short circuit there. The power goes from the fuse, up to the head lamp switch and then to the 4 lamps. Check to see if the headlamp switch is working properly. Charlie
