    A lot more info is needed

    are these OE or aftermarket? anything else that’s wired to this?

    have you checked the harness all the way to see if anything is cut or chewed?

    The tail light fuse is powered by the tail relay.
    The tail relay is powered by the 120A JB/Alt fuse.
    The tail relay is commanded ON by the Body ECU

    Small green wire that goes to the tail lights that had rubbed on frame and became exposed causing the 7.5 amp fuse to blow fixed wire just don’t have any power to the 7.5 amp fuse trying to figure out why it doesn’t have power

    Thanks I’ll check that fuse to see if that’s the reason I have no power to the 7.5 amp fuse under dash

    If that fuse was bad, you’d have a lot more problems than tail lights.
    If your power windows work, the J/B 120A fuse is good :thumbsup:

    Is the headlight switch On?
    It has to be set to Tail/Park or Headlight.

    Try both positions.
