Sounds like a fuse....but I don't know about the tail light thing. I wouldn't think that the interior lights and the tail lights would be on the same fuse. I thought that the tail lights/headlights were on one of those big 30 amp fuses under the hood????? Weird, I would check both places for a blow fuse, under the dash and under the hood.

I had a similar problem where my back lights didnt work. The wires that run back to the tail was pinched and causing a fuse to bllow. I used one of those resettable fuses and experimented untill it didnt blow anymore.

It does sound like a fuse. The fact that your brake lights and reverse lights work still is an insignificant factor. There are 2 different fuses for brake lights and parking lights, so one may work while the other one doesn't.

I have a similar problem...I have no dash lights except the needles, no light for the gear selector, and I didn't even know there was a light for the cup holder. Is there a different fuse for the needles and the other dash lights???

it was a 15a fuse under my hood it was i think the turn lamp or somtinging ill check later but yea there is a light underneath your cup holder take it out and u will see
