It probably is the fuse, check it again. The fuse should be a 7.5

update, changed all the bulbs and fuses again i have turn, brake, and reverse lights, still no tail lights or corner markers. I did notice in the engine bay that theres a corner light relay how can i test that to see if it is working? and does anyone know of a fuse inside the car that could be out?

could also be that if someone owned the car before and messed around with any of the wiring on the tails, the wire to the brake light might not be making good contact anymore.... that was the case with me at least... had to solder them back together with one of those cold heat guns

Check fuse #5 (7.5 amp) This is the fuse for the tail lamps. Take it out and take a good look. I believe it is located in the underdash fuse holder. That fuse holder has the fuse numbers molded into it you have to look closely.

You say you have no corner lights either? It could be the switch inside the car is broken. But check the fuse and relay first.

Do your interior lights light up when you turn on the parking lights?

When you are looking at the fuse box, Fuse #5 is in the left side row (5th one up?)
