welcome to the board.

you can start with getting a copy of the FSM and wiring diagrams here => Foxed.ca

next, let's keep it simple. have you checked your fuses and bulbs?

diabolical1 thank you for your answer and excuse me I forgot to say that the fuses and taillights are not melted, all that is fine, that is why I am confused because all that is fine, also I fit well the ground cables in the headlights.

well, the headlights are not on the same circuit, so the taillights would be grounded somewhere else. you'd have to check the diagram for that because i don't know off the top of my head.

also, are just the park lights out, or are the lights on the dash and console out as well?

diabolical1: The low beams in the taillights the side marker lights and the dashboard lights those one's in the cluster area only. I take a look on the diagram and as far as I understand I don't see any wrong with the wiring system also I take a look on the wires to see if I found some wires melted and everything looks good.
