Fuses are still good. The odd thing is the white light works when I go in reverse and the red light works when locking/unlocking the vehicle using the remote.

Hi,

Chances are the light is a dual-element bulb. One of the elements will function with the parking lights and the other element is for the brakes or signals light.

Do me a favor, remove the bulb. To the best of my knowledge, it will be a 4157 part number on it. Switch it with the one on the opposite side to see if it works.

I attached a pic below showing what I mean by the dual-element.

Remove the bulb and check if that is the part number and let me know what you find.

Take care,

Joe
