Rear running lights stopped working?

Hi,

Since it is only the rear parking lights not working, it leads me to a possible issue with the taillight relay or tail lamp fuse under the hood. But I'm looking at the wiring schematics and it appears the front parking lights wouldn't work either.

Also, there is a junction located at the front of the left rear quarter panel. Was that the side that was hit?

I attached the wiring schematic below, so you have a reference. Take a look through it and let me know your thoughts. Also, let me know where the vehicle was hit. Maybe that will help point me in the right direction.

I highlighted some wires that are related to the rear lamps. Interestingly, they get power from the same place as the front parking lights. Note: The wiring schematic below is from one picture. I had to cut it in half to make it readable for you. I did overlap the two so you can follow from one to the next.

Let me know.

Hi,

If you jump power from the trailer wiring, make sure you remove the fuse under the hood for the rear lights. Although it wouldn't be how I would want to fix it, I guess it would work.

Actually, it won't work. I looked at the schematic again. If you remove the integration relay, you lose other things including the front parking light.

If you are sure the grounds are good and are questioning the open circuit relay, remove the relay and with a short jumper wire, jump pins 30 and 87 to see if the lights turn on. If they still don't, see if one of the pins I mentioned has power. One should and one won't.

Let me know.

Hi,

You are very welcome. Do I understand correctly that the problem has been resolved?

Let me know.
