Hi,
Do any of the exterior lights work? For example, do the brake lights. turn signals or reverse lights work?
Also, which fuses did you check? Looking at the wiring schematics, they should be in the C fuse panel on the left side of the dash. When you checked the fuses, did you check to see if there is power to them?
Take a look through this link and let me know if you did what is suggested. It's important to check for power because there could be a fuse before the one you checked that could have failed first.

Just started working again by self.
From all research and test I did learn this car has a safety before blowing any fuses I tried running fog lights that are 35 watts to my corner lights that are 5 watts. So, this caused an overload in BCM temporarily shutting power to corner lights. So, I unplugged one side left that way and realized it basically reset itself once load was reset. So, I removed connected bulb on other side and voila! It worked so these cars you can't wire anything extra must be wired on its own relay and fuse. Thank you team!
