Parking lights not working, fuse is fine
 
I noticed one of my license plate lights were blinking earlier tonight, I decided to pop the trunk and make sure the connection was fine and that the bulb didnt need to be pressed in. After pushing the bulb in a little further (with the car on, not sure if that could've been the cause), the front running lights, rear running lights, and both license plate lights stopped working. I have had the running light fuse blow before, so I went to go check and just decided to replace it even though it wasnt blown, they still arent working. Any recommendations? Don't want to get a ticket

It could have blown other fuses. Do your brake lights still work?

Yes, its the exact lights that went out when my parking light fuse did blow. I checked all fuses and they are fine. Im wondering if somehow a short in the license plate lights could be causing the whole system to not work but somehow not blowing the fuse? idk. I just ordered new lights to fix the flickering one so I will see if that works later this week.

Are all your lights stock? You need to find the root cause not just keep swapping fuses. There could be a break in the wire that doesn't create a short to blow the fuse.

check the wires between the trunk and body through the grommet. Potentially a wire could be broken
