I replaced light switch, still no lights. I keep getting the bell sound like lights are on. all other lights work even the sensor turns on front daytime lights, but not the taillight she or dash. Where can I check for bad or breakin ground wire?

the ground for dash lights is on right hand side of dash near heat vent, but this may be a DRL module problem for both. you can check the relay in picture, but a mechanic will have to scan for codes for DRL module problem.
