Do the rear tail lights work?

Are you saying the 4 bulbs that provide the back lighting for the digital dash cluster LCD's still work?

Tail 10amp fuse is hot all the time. You should always measure 12 volts on it. Remove it and verify it's not blown along with the INST LPS 3 amp fuse.

When you turn the headlight switch to Head or Park, Tail fuse also supplies 12 volts through the headlight dimmer switch to the INST LPS 3 amp fuse that powers back lighting for the radio, hvac control head, digital dash back lighting, DIC, PRND indicator light, wiper switch and header map switch illumination.
