Default Light Out!!!!!

Help!!!!!! I've got a lighting problem that is driving me

Here are the symptoms: Light switch pulled out one click, marker lights work, front parking lights work, interior (dash, console) lights work, license plate and rear lights do not!
Light switch pulled all the way out, marker lights work, headlights work, front parking lights work, interior (dash, console) lights work, license plate and rear lights do not!
Press brake pedal, drivers side works passengers does not,
Transmission in reverse, lights do not work!

I've checked the obvious, fuses okay, wiring harness grounded, connectors in good shape and connected. Is it possible i am missing a ground somewhere? All connections i see are grounded, wiring harness is is good shape, don't see any broken wires. With one side working for the brakes, the brake light switch is working, seems odd that only the back half of the car's lights are out!

check the ground connections on the light sockets back there, remove the bulbs and check the socket to frame connection with an ohm meter

Based on your symptoms, the ground connection for the rear panel of your car must have a "problem".
