Help: Rear running lights not working

hey, does anyone know where the fuse for the rear running lights are? the problem is that the rear lights arent turning on when i turn on the headlights and stuff. everything works. the rear lights still work(when pressing the brakes everything works normally). its just that i seem to probably blown a fuse or a relay? i dont think its anything with a broken wire or anything cause all my lights work but just not working when set to Running.

check the fuses below the steering column to the left and also under the hood. Each one of those fuse covers will have a diagram stating what fuse is what and check them.

Don't necessarily assume that they do what they say though. My headlights, fog lights, cruise control, and speedometer (when lights are on) all went out and it was the fuse labeled as "BACK" which is supposed to control back-up lights and something else.

so i finally fixed it due to some stupid mistake.
dont be a retard like me and decide to take out your parking light switch. i thought i never needed to switch my parking lights on and off so i decided to take that out, but infact if you take the parking light switch out it also disables your parking lights (aka running lights).

make sure when you do break off your parking light switch, dont lose that small ballberring. that ballberring is used to push both the metal connections together. i was able to just snap back on my parking light and now its back to normal.

I was just about to reply to this thread and tell you to check that parking light switch. I thought mine were out also so I went to the dealership to have it looked at.

I had recently gone to a carwash where when they wiped down my steering column they accidentally half way switched the parking lights. They weren't all the way off or all the way on and in that position everything works but the running lights. Weird problem.
