If just one taillight is out, you have burned out bulb. Look for an access panel for the light assembly in the trunk. IF both taillights are out, you MAY have a blown fuse. STart by checking the bulbs. The fuse box is either behind a panel on the lower dash, driver side, or "easily" accessible near the brake pedal.

look in your manual or on fuse box cover, fuse will probably be labeled taillights.Press the helpful button

1Check the fuse. A blown fuse usually causes both lights to go out. On newer cars, the tail lamps can be fused separately and/or each bulb or shared circuit can be fused. A fuse can be blown due to other problems, so you'll need to check more than just the fuse, but it's the right place to start. Look in your owner's manual to determine where the fuse box is located in your car.
2Look at the tail lamp wiring. These are the wires that lead to the tail lights, located inside the lid of the trunk. Open the trunk and take a look. You can see where the wires should connect in order for the electrical system to properly work. If a wire has come loose, reattach it.
3Check the taillight bulbs. If the fuse and wiring look right, the bulbs themselves might be the problem. To check them, unscrew the taillight lenses from the outside using a screwdriver.
4Check the taillight lenses. Whether or not you were able to fix the problem of your tail lights working correctly by examining the fuse, wiring and light bulb, it's important to check the lenses as well to make sure they're not cracked or broken.

First, check the fuses. If the taillight fuse is blown, check the bulbs. If both bulbs are blown (pretty rare to have both go out at the same time) then start looking at the wiring. If you need help with wiring diagrams go to http://www.bbbind.com/tech_database.html
they have several online and they are free.
If you replace the fuse and it blows again, you'll have to find the short in your wiring.

Your taillight/license plate/dash lights fuse is blown. It's all run off of the same fuse.

the fuse is in the passengers under dash fuse box which is behind the kick pannel ..under the glove box on the door side and you should see a little access door to get at the fuse box...hope this helps

Bypass the fuse? Bypassing a fuse is a fire hazard in the first place. When they worked on that everything should work normally plus the added feature. Not compromising anything. Take it back there and have it done properly or put it back the way it was, and have it done somewhere else. You work hard for your money so you deserve a good job on your car.

If you have the manual there will be a chart in it which will show you which fuse is blown. If you do not have the book, you have some choices. you could go to a dealer and order a book, go to a bookstore and purchase a book, or go to a good auto parts store, and get a book. Otherwise just pull one fuse at a time and visually examine it. Generally you can tell a blown fuse by looking at it, but not always.
