Using a digital voltmeter, check for 12 volts at tail lights with light switch in the on position, if 12v is there. recheck that u have the correct bulb number on the two taillight bulbs. sometimes bulbs look the same but wont work. u can remove dash light switch,keep it plugged in, and using your wiring diagram, check the pin that should be 12v, switch in the oh position, don't forget to ground your black lead to a known ground spot. if no 12v is present on switch replace it.check wiring in the trunk that goes to your tail lights for a broken wire.
