Altima no tail lights

Greetings All,
I was wondering if someone could straighten me out. I ran into a problem on my 2002 when I used the dimmer wire, by mistake, as a ground. I have since corrected this thanks to an earlier thread. However, I still do no have console lights (Radio & comfort controls are out but Dash are working) nor do I have tail lights. I have tested EVERY fuse that I could locate. I have not found a fuse that controls the console or tail lights. I located a red / yellow wire that is the 'hot' wire. I followed this as far as I could. It has power at the fuse box, but does not at the dimmer. I even hot wired the dimmer switch in which case I again have console lights but still no tail lights. Is there a fuse buried somewhere I'm missing, or is it as simple as a bad bulb that takes out both tails and the console. I will be checking the tail lights tonight to see if I have a bad bulb. :banghead:
Thanks,
Tim
