It may not be labeled as such. The best is to just use a test light to check each fuse under the hood and inside the car. There's two little holes on top of each one to probe. Some will have 12 volts on both sides all the time. Some will have 0 volts on both sides if that circuit is turned off. You're looking for one that has 12 volts on one side and 0 volts on the other when the tail lights are turned on.

Also observe if the dash lights work. Those tap off the tail light circuits. Observe the radio display too to see if it dims and if you can adjust it.

Due to a house fire, I have to drive into town and sit in the library to use the internet. They're closing now. I'll be back tomorrow to see how you're doing.
