There are actually 2 fuse boxes in there. 1 is clipped onto the passenger side bulkhead vertically. Once you get it loose and remove the cover, the fuse you need will be in there. If memory serves me right it is a 10 amp fuse. (Red in Color I think, not Maroon which is 7.5 amps if I remember correctly) Swap that out and you'll be fine.

You can get fuses at any car store, this is what you want:





If you see the little strip inside is clean and unbroken, the fuse isn't popped. If it looks charred inside and the connection is broken, the fuse is blown and needs replacement.

Here is a link to order a set: LP MINI Fuses - Low-Profile MINI® 58V Blade Fuse - Littelfuse

I always keep a pack of replacement ones in the glove box just in case something pops.
so i checked all the fuses in the one right by the battery...all of them seemed cleaned and unbroken, but none of them even remotely sounded like they were part of the tail light connection

however there is a big fuse in the fuse box right under the brake fluid labeled "DTRL Relay "...could that be messed up? How do I check that one? I can't seem to get it out.

Doesn't seem like it's a fuse problem though
Or I'm just not doing it right
