Bad wiring? Your car is 10 years old now...

Not many of us have experience with Australia models, so it's hard to say without totally guessing.

yes what joey said....easy way to try and figure it, is to start pulling fuses one by one and see when it goes off, then you at least know what circuit you are looking for...then trace that circuit...(may need some wiring schematics)...and see if a rubbed through wire is somehow powering the taillight circuit...just the tail lights? usually all markers lights on on the same circuit...but what do I know I work on semi-trucks :P
