tail light fuse '96 dakota.

I cannot locate witch # fuse it is or what box its in. My tail lights don't work but everything does. Any help is greatly appreciated

Than its not the fuse. The front park lights and the marker bulbs are fed from the same fuse as the tailinghts. If they are working than the fuse is good and you have a broken wire or corroded wire to the rear bulbs.

I was hoping to tap into the fuse and just re wire from there. I figured it was not the fuse...

The black with yellow wire is the power wire for the tail lights. If you went through the trouble to run a new wire it wouldn't take that much longer to trace the wire from the back to see where the problem is. There should be a bulk connector back there somewhere. I would pull that apart first to see if the pins are corroded. If they are a simple splice will take care of the problem and probably save you a little time in the long run.

Found the black boxes and said black/yellow wire made the slice and no dice. I'll have the ol man take a look and go from there. Thanks for your help!

Had to go the long route and hardwire them. They be working good now. Now I just have to pay attention to the #8 fuse.
