The fuse should be labeled Tail Lps in the middle of the fuse block. It should be a 20 amp fuse. If it is blown, turn on the tail lights after you replace it and see if it blows again. If it does then you have a short that needs to be fixed. Usually what happens is that the wire is rubbing somewhere and has chaffed through. Alittle black tape will solve that problem. This would also apply if you get a few days of driving before it blows again. To find the problem remove the light sockets and drop them down under the truck and check them over looking for cracks or bare spots in the insulation. Tape any suspicious spots.
If the fuse is good replace the bulbs. If that doesn't work check out the ground wire.Take it off,clean it up and reattach it, making sure the chassis is bare shiny metal. It could also be the sockets themselves,or the plug-in. The plug-in is on the driver's side near the bumper.

Rear tail lights running lights not working on my 2003 Buick Park Avenue

Check the wire grounds where the lens connect to the vehicle. With a test light check to make sure current is arriving at the bulbs. If not, then follow the wires back to the light switches.

No rear running lights. Turn and brake lights work. what do I do

The tail lights are also called parking lights.
There is a 10amp fuse for each rear parking lamp. The fuses are in the rear fuse box. Your owner's manual will tell you where that fuse box is located.
The fuses get power from a park lamp relay.

Park, Tail, Marker Lamps, and License
The park, tail and marker lamps, including the license lamps, turn on when the headlamp switch is placed in either the PARK or the HEAD position, or anytime the headlamps are requested. The RT I/P #1 fuse in the RH I/P fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to both the park lamp relay switch contacts and to the park lamp relay coil circuit. The park lamp relay coil is controlled by the body control module (BCM). When the headlamp switch is placed in the PARK position, the BCM energizes the park lamp relay coil control circuit.
Current flows from the park lamp relay switch to both front and rear park lamp fuses and to their respective park/tail lamps. The front park lamps are grounded at G101. The rear park lamps are grounded at G302. The license plate lamps are a part of the rear park lamp circuit and are grounded at G302. The inadvertent power control feature prevents the park lamps from remaining on more than 10 minutes if left on. If the park lamps are turned on after the ignition switch has been turned OFF, or is in the ACCY position, they will remain on until turned off or until the battery runs dead.

The tail lights and dash lights are not working. they did work then started this on and off thing. I have a diagram from the library but it does not tell me which fuse is for the tail lights. I have...

Both the tail light /dash lights are the park lamp connection of the car as the fuse is seen on the same place where the other fuses were located marked as park lamp.
It will be easier to check the supply to the park lamp with a multimeter to confirm if the voltage is coming over when the switch is activated, if not the ground connection can be faulty, use a ground to check and confirm to the tail lamp. make sure the park switch is working and is not faulty with the meter.
