Did you check the fuses under the passenger foot well ? When mine went out it was a fuse, not sure if it was #7-8-5

Not certain but you may have more than one fault

The parking lamps and tails ground to G410 in the rear. The fogs ground to G102 in the front.

All have different fuses: Fog-Relay 39, back up-engine fuse 21 and relay 38

Here are the grounds locations



I'd start by cleaning the grounds and checking the connector in the passenger wheel well.

I would say so. Hook it up and you will probably be good to go
