    I have the same problem, all rear lights work except the running tail lights.
    So Matt, what fuse was the correct one??

    Yes, turned out to be the fuse. Wasn't totally sure what caused the fuse to burn out but I suspect it was when I first installed the new trailer light plug the wiring diagram on the new plug was incorrect (despite the guy from Napa saying it was a OEM Toyota plug).

    I have the same problem but it’s only my drivers side tail light. Could that be a fuse?

    @KDT88 Not sure if you've figured it out yet, but given how easy it is to check the fuses I'd go ahead and check them. It'll save you quite a bit of trouble if it is a fuse.

    Guys, I spent 2 hours doing everything that was listed in this form. I don’t think anybody mentioned the possibility that the taillight fuse may have gone out. I was furious after checking the fuse after disassembling everything only to realize that was the issue
