The reason why your brake lights work is because it is on a separate circuit then the parking lights. Have you tested them with a multimeter to see if power is running through?

I do not understand what you mean by a fuse which is not blown but does not work. That seems contradictory.

Tail lights are powered through fuse #66 (15 amps) located in the narrow fuse and link box in the engine compartment adjacent to the battery ... and ... fuse #5 (7.5 amps) in the passenger compartment fuse box. Since there is rear-end crash damage in this story you must also look for a broken ground wire in that vicinity. You could use a multimeter to backprobe the bulb sockets to determine which is missing, +12 volts or ground.
