Sounds like flood car,

As for problem one, remove rear inner passenger tail light, and inside the void and slightly down, check the connector for corrosion.

If you note that tail lights are LED, then start checking the wiring loom to lights, for a break in the wires where resistors where placed.

2. Need to check wiring via speedo cluster removal, and may just be the soldered in bulb in cluster, burnt out if someone was driving around with high beams off all the time.

3. DCI personalization set up, and make sure to select light flash at lock and unlock options. Also, turn off autolock, since this way, have to have Fob in hand to lock the doors, not forget Fob in car, to have car lock them inside.

Look at this. This connector is a common place for corrosion and does funny things with tail lights...
