I checked all the fuse in the car, i replace the rear tail light assemble. That is how all this started. My turn signals didn't work. replaced bulbs then noticed the the sockets were burnt and scorched. so that is when i replaced the tail light assembly
First off ,you did electric work and skipped step 1
pull battery neg lug first.
so you blew the fuses.
what IP lights. all warning lamps.
or just the park lamps in the cluster.
part is called Illumination in said cluster.
where is these other lights, what is a driving light, (park, head,turn, what? brakes?)
tell all lights that work & not , inside and outside car.
tell what knob you turn. can be like 10x better clue...?????
burned sockets are shorted lamps, the brass base lamps love to short inside, (china made x10) get new ones from top maker....
ok, so after replacing the TL assy.
what dont work now, report all lamps.
if it's only outside lamps failing, say so..
i guess you dont know that parking lamps go to like 20+ places, inside and outside car. so. parking lamps are special if acting up
then brake lamps
then blinkers (turn signals)
then reverse.
if the parks (aka, incorrectly TAIL) are bad, then we need to know that. using the correct word.
parks are on all 4 counters, and side lights and inside car.
that is why tail lamp , is a bad name. but fuses are marked as tail on many cars.
also when working on car external lighting
make sure no trailer towing hacks are found.
look for non OEM hack jobs, at the rear corners. Uhual hacks.
or past collision damage to wiring not repaired properly.
how is that>?
check all fuses in all boxes?
did you test them. as fuses that look blown are but ones that look ok can in fact be bad with hair line cracks too small to see.
we in a real shop use a voltmeter,
key on, see 12vdc on both sides of fuses.
this works 100% (cept the rare ground fuse)
also works, key off, 0 OHMS is good fuse.
i still need status of all lights and
what you put your hand to, when expecting lights of some kind?
i key on
i just turn the Headlight switch 1 click
what?
key on the CEL and warning lamps must glow
or the fuse is blown !! or battery dead.
if i turn on HL switch 1 click all parks must glow, in cluster and outside of car.
if not, the fuse is blown.
if only the cluster illum are dead and outside parks the park fuse is blown.
its that simple.
but if only 1 lamp fails, do say so...

check brake switch under brake pedal... if not working change it..
SOURCE: Troubleshooting tail light assembly issues in my Jeep
Check fuse panel, under dash, as well as under hood. Owners manual should also give you map of fuses. May say"park" lights, "running lights", or something similar.
Testimonial: "Thanks a lot for the info, I never thought to check the fuses. Appreciate it"
SOURCE: Rear lights, brake lights and turn signals do not
I would check if they also run off of a relay, You could have a wire that is either broke or it is grounding out somewhere.
SOURCE: How to remove and replace tail light assembly on
There is 2 screws located on the side when you open your tail gate by the tail light. remove these 2 screws and pull the tail light out and disconnect the wire connector. Hope this helps.
Best of luck
