Default Tail light and plates light off. But Brake light works fine

Hello guys, I noticed tonight that on my 2003 Es300 the inner tail lights are off as well as my plate light, however when I put it in reverse, or put the turning lights or brake these work but not the inner tail lights. Could this be a fuse? could this be something else? does anyone have some input on that?

Thanks a lot

You probably have a broken wire. They usually break along the left trunk hinge, they get damaged from the constant opening And closing of the. Trunk.

+1 on the broken wire, since its only isolated to the trunk.
My bets is that your trunk doesn't pop open with the remote too.

If it was a fuse, all the tail lights would be out, since they all run on the same fuse.

It was actually a wire, but after that got fixed, then the Stabilizer Bar Bracket and the clamp broke making a horrible sound when I drove. I ordered the parts and once I get them Im replacing it. Also my Memory seats weren't working and when I opened the door panel I found the controls are not connected to anything. there is no cable coming to plug. Might have to change the whole wiring harness.
