Tail Lights not working

I was pulled over last night because my tail lights weren't working. Headlights work, brake lights work, reverse lights work, turn signals/hazards work as well.

The only thing that doesn't work are the tails, they wont turn on. Replaced ALL the bulbs for the rear of the car I still don't have anything.

Is there a fuse or something I'm missing?

blown fuse. Look under the fuse panel under the steering column. On the lil fuse panel cover itself look for Taillight or something. Its a 7.5 fuse

Have the same problem on my 04. Changed the fuse on the front, by the windshield fluid reservoir. It shorted a couple of times. Tried again the next day when the vehicle was cold, and the problem seemed solved... Until tonight when I drove for another three hours with the lights on. Any one knows what might be causing this? Thanks.

Do lots of searching on the forum. Your answers are here. One easy tip though check the fuse under your dash as stated it's a 7.5

My fuse kept blowing over and over. I changed the rear bulbs and it still kept blowing. I still have no idea why it kept happening. For a while I drove around without taillights. Then I upgraded the fuse from a 7.5 to a 10. The fuse still hasn't blown yet.
