    hello!

    The rear running lights on my truck and license plate lights are not working.

    But the break lights, reverse lights and blinkers are working.

    I saw a similar thread but it didn’t answer my question.

    Is there a fuse that i can replace that’s separate from the standard “TAIL” break light fuse?

    Working on them
    Do you have one of these? check all your Fuse's then check at the Taillight brake light socket to see if there is power with this little simple tool too

    I have the same issue right now. Swapped out to LED's on the license plate lights and now they don't work. I think I popped a fuse in the main fuse box under the hood. I'm assuming with these fuses if you pop a fuse they change into a different color? True/False?

    Is there a label translator for the fuse locations? Some of them are a little cryptic to me. I just want to understand it so I don't have to ask again. Thanks.
