My daughter's Escape has no tail lights or dash lights. I thought a fuse, but have not found a fuse for labeled tail lights. Headlights come on fine, but no tail lights. Would they not be both on the same circuit?
 
Headlights are on a circuit breaker. And good thing, too, wouldn't want anything else on the circuit that could take out the lights and cause an accident.

Often an aftermarket stereo is to blame for this blowing-- the dash lights are on the taillight fuse.

Not sure why it blew. I was towing a trailer in the rain when it went out...
