Hello,

This could be a problem with the grounds for these circuits. They are Ground 302 which is below the center console and Grounds 404 and 405 which are on the left and right side of the trunk respectively. Please check these grounds and make sure that they are clean, corrosion free, tight, and making good metal to metal contact. In the diagrams down below I have included the wiring diagrams for both the exterior lighting and the instrument panel for your vehicle, as well instructions for properly checking a ground in a circuit. Please go through these guides and get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
Alex
