    2022 My taillights have stopped working even though all other lights work just fine. Fuse is fine. Bulbs are fine. Headlight, break, blinker, and reverse lights all work. What else could be the problem?

    what specially isn’t working? I see you said headlights, “break”, blinker, and reverse all work. So I’m assuming license plate lights.
    OE assemblies?
    Any electrical modifications?
    Did you check fuses?

    I’d start there

    All lights work except taillights. Fuses were fine. Headlights had been replaced. That was the only change recently but taillights were working fine afterwards.

    If the bulbs are fine and the fuse is fine, are you still under warranty? If so, this sounds like a job for the dealer.

    How did you test the bulb?

    I'd start by replacing both tail light bulbs with brand new. You never know, maybe both are bad even though you "tested".

    Replaced both. That's how I knew they were both fine.
