How long have you owned it? Have you done anything to it recently? Possibly the PO did a weak mod job which has fallen apart?

Did you by chance try taking out the fuse for the 1-4 skip shift? I lost my rear lights when I used the supposedly smart fuse.

The title says NO lights. But it sounds like you (may) have brake/turn/backup lights. The ones you mentioned are all "running" or "marker" lights. Did you check connections in the panel in the passenger footwell?

no lights as in none of the lights in the rear of the car come on. Passenger footwell has been checked
