You cannot always see the problem with a fuse
you may have lost the ground connection for that circuit.

Where would I check that??

Thank you FunCycle... I changed the Secondary lights fuse (even though it looked ok) and they are back on... Now I just need to figure out why it blew... thanks a bunch.

Just mark the one that went bad and keep a couple of spares in the glove box. Sometimes they just get tiered.
If the fuse looked good and you changed it out anyway, and that fixed it, maybe it wasn't blown. If the terminals had any corrosion on them, just a simple remove and reinstall may have just swiped the contacts clean. Or maybe the old one was not fully seated in the connector. I usually take a cheap test light and hit the top tip on both side of the fuse before pulling them out. That way you know you had good power in and nothing out. Makes trouble shooting a bit easier

Phil you have heard me say it before. If everyone would just buy and learn how to use a Volt/OHM meter they could save themselves a lot of time and money. I am not a fan of a test light, all it tells you is you do have some voltage there not how much.

I have a volt/ohm meter... Fluke... and there was no power getting to the rear where the tail lights are. My big question was which fuse to check since neither the manual or the fuse box says anything about brake/tail lights... It only has secondary lights...
I did take the original bad fuse out and replace the same fuse with no success and there is no corrosion.
I really would like to thank this group for the quick responses and help in sorting out this problem... It is appreciated.
billythekidd the meter reference was for our many friends on here to help them out in finding out a lot of electrical problems on their own.

It's more FUN just to ask FunCycle how to fix. And if is close by you can even con him into doing most of the work.

It's really fun to ask him to post pictures of how to do something. 😉📷

FunCycle can explain how to do it...just can't do the pics...
