I just dealt with this last night.

Mine was a wire shorting out on one of my corner lights. It killed my corner, tail, and dash lights.

If you've already checked the fuse (position number 4 I believe), if that doesn't solve it start checking for power at each light socket.

I just pulled the lights out and looked because it's only like 7 bolts. (they're 7/16)

go buy a test light, and check for power and grounds at the sockets, which ever is missing, back trace it to the source prob

so grab a wiring diagram and see where source power is originating from......and check point to point in system and in no time you'll find the issue
