Taillight out...not the bulbs. Anyone know whatsup?

My driver's side taillight is out. The lights turn on when I brake, turn signal works, but it just wont light up normally.

I changed out all the bulbs with an extra set of tails i had and tried the passenger taillight as well but no luck. I'm not too familiar with electrical stuff but is there some blown fuse or something?

Thanks.

The front lights work fine? Not sure what you mean by parking lights.

parking lights are when you turn the knob just once, so that the head lights aren't on...but you have the rear parking lights and front parking lights on...just the two top corner amber lights in front...and 4 red in rear.

I had the same problem when I shorted out a fuse when I installed my boost gauge the first time. I believe the fuse you need to replace is in the cabin fusebox. Check the manual for which one. May be interior gauge illumination, but not positive.
