Hi,

Based on your description, the first thing I would check is the wiring at the rear electronic control module. That is the one thing that ties the lights you mentioned together.

If you look at the attached pic, I highlighted the wires which go to the module. Check to make sure none are crossed, shorted, or damaged in any way.

Also, I will need to know if you have a factory trailer tow package. There could also be a short in the wiring to the trailer module or the connector itself.

Let me know what you find.

Hi,

Is the issue with the lighting or a no start? Or, is it both.

Does the starter engage?

Let me know.

The lights are working fine now, it was a fuse located in the trunk, one thing about this car it started up the minute you turned the key. I replaced blow fuses there was 3. Now it won't start. has lots of cranking power . No problem with battery. I double checked all fuses.

What three fuses were replaced? Also, do you hear the fuel pump turning on when you first turn the key?

Take a look through this link and see if anything helps:

The car and light's work perfectly now. I had removed the relays in trunk to see if they were okay. I went on line to find diagram for relays , the one that said fuel diode , I put it in wrong spot. I noticed on diagram there was a space between it and a relay and I put next to it. But I want to thank you so much for your advice and time . I'm lucky I got it solved. have a good night.
