No fuses blown but clearance and 3rd brake lights are out

Searching but not hitting gold. Anyone have any ideas?

Brake lights and headlights work. All interior lights work as well.

It should be in the interior fuse box. Make sure all the fuses are right ratings.

Well guess what? A blown fuse, inside panel, first bank 5th one up, 7.5 amp. I swear it didn't look bad when I went thru them all last night but the issue has been corrected.

Thanks for the reply Goodspeed.

It is usually easy to tell if an automotive fuse is blown, but not always. The best way to check a fuse is with a multimeter. Looks alone can be deceiving.

I guess my issue was lighting and frustration because I had to get my kids to bed.
