    Hey so my rear turn signals don’t work, but the front ones do.
    Brake lights and reverse lights are fine.

    think it’s a fuse? If so, where is it?

    Thanks

    Have you checked the bulbs? Could just be burnt out.

    If it's just your turn signals, I'd check the bulbs first. Start with the easy stuff your way from there.

    sorry about that.

    I put the factory lights back on, and I found that the bulbs were burnt.

    but the thing is the burnt ones were on the brake lights and were working. The turn signal lights weren’t burnt but they weren’t working. I’m so confused.

    No prob.

    What are your front turn signals doing, blinking as expected, or blinking fast? That could narrow down the problem.

    Double check all the taillight connections and bulbs, and then reseat them all would be my next step
