So picked up my evo x with only 59k miles and didn't even notice that the 2 tail lights on the trunk the middle strip in the trunk and my license plate bulbs don't work

Anyone know what would cause all these to go out not sure what fuse to even check all other lights work checked all the bulbs none of them are burnt out they are all good.
Any pointers here also checked the plug in the trunk going from the trunk to behind the passengers seat it is plugged in

Evo_Goodness

Anyone have any idea I'm stumped with this one can't find anything that would cause the trunk tail lights middle strip light and back license plate light not to work and would really like to get them all working or at least the plate lights so I don't get slapped with a ticket lol

Well I guess I know what I'll be digging into this weekend lol

Evo_Goodness

This is still eluding me I'm so confused as to why the exterior trunk lights don't work mind you then ones on the rear corner panels work fine as in the normal tail lights the ones on the trunk do not work at all

Evo_Goodness

So got the plate bulbs figured out there burnt out lol they didn't look like it earlier but they are so my last mission is to figure out the 2 trunk tail lights and the middle strip 3rd break light I'm guessing it's called the one in the middle of the trunk...

Anyone know what fuse it is for the trunk tail lights and 3rd break light the crappy engrish Manuel is useless for fuses lol I got kinda big hands so it's hard to pull each one and look at it

Do the reverse lights work? If not, you'll have to check the trunk harness. It might be the ground or the connector entirely.

You know I'm not sure I'll have my wife back it up later today to see if the reverse lights work where is the ground for the trunk harness at ? It's definitely connected plugged in right behind the back seat

I'm not positive but it looks like a lot of other stuff runs through that harness so it's probably not the ground. I'm wondering if you car had a trunk swap or if the PO had aftermarket lights they swapped. It sounds like a some traditional volt-meter troubleshooting may be in your future.

Evo_Goodness

Ya I'm sure it had and after market trunk on it just by looking at it why I'm really confused just the trunk tail lights done work or 3rd brake light

Evo_Goodness

So update the white reverse lights do work lol so it's just the red ones next to it the bulbs look good but I'm going to swap them out this weekend
