[Fixed] My tail lights are not working, though all other lights work fine.
Dash, headlights, turn signal, and brake lights all work.
There are no driving tail lights, however.
I looked for a specific fuse but couldn't figure it out.
Here's the fuse diagram under the hood, if anyone can help.

[UPDATE: FIXED]
Ok so this was user error.
Apparently, the light selection switch is a knob and not on the turn signal stick like many cars.
If the light knob is in off position, the Jeep will automatically force the headlights on when you start driving.
However, it will not force the rear driving lights on.
In short, you can be tricked into thinking your lights are all on, but it's just the headlights :(
