    I have a 2018 Tacoma TRD pro. The rear marker and licenses lights are not working. All the other lights work just fine. The fuses in the cab and under the hood appear to be fine. All connections are good. Any thoughts?

    Since the fuses "appear" to be fine, swap the TAIL fuse for a new one just for shits & giggles.

    So, with the info that was provided I found the correct fuse this time. It was blown, so I replaced it. The moment the lights were turned on the fuse popped. Now I am looking for what is causing that. Any ideas to speed the troubleshooting up would be appreciated.

    Look at the wiring for the tags and rear lights. Frays, cuts, exposed copper touching the frame or any metal parts.

    I found the problem. I screwed up the tag light wiring. Crossed the wires. Thank you for your help.
