2014 C7 tail lights not working
I just bought a 2014 C7 corvette from Carvana and none of the tail lights work (break lights, reverse lights, indicators etc.).
I have tried looking in the owners manual to see if there is a fuse I can check, but I cannot find anything about the tail lights.
Is there a fuse I should check, and if so, what is it?

I don't see any separate fuses. The lights are controlled by the BCM which sends a pulse signal to the lights. As the "on" percent of each pulse increases, the brighter the light.
Sounds like you need to look for something common to both rear lights - connector, ground, etc.

I agree with Blackcreek. Carvana shouldn't have sold the car in that condition.
Are the taillights red? I'm wondering if someone installed clear Z06 taillights and then swapped it back to stock before they sold it. It might be as simple as forgetting to plug the harness back in when they put the rear bumper on. I think both taillights merge into one connector where it plugs into the body. Regardless, Carvana should have caught this.

Yeah, if you just got the car - call Carvana and tell them they sold you a defective / unsafe car.
See how they will address the problem - take the car back, pay for repairs at a Chevy dealer, etc.
