Check for the presence of power at those junctures. If there then look for a bad ground. If not there you need to find out where the power is being tapped from and check out the fuses/relays in between.

You didn't forget to pull the headlight switch to check them? That's odd, usually license plate lights are spliced in from the tail light circuit. There may be a separate ground for the license lights-if so, should be right nearby the bulbs. Use a test light or voltmeter and make sure fuse 22 has power. You could also check the sockets for power. If you have power to the socket and new bulbs don't work, it would be a grounding problem.
That should not have a separate fuse, if the fuse is out so should your running lights. If your running lights are working, check the wires and or bulbs for your license plate lights.
InstructionsOpen the rear deck lid on the Mazda 6.Carefully remove the plastic finishing cover from the license plate light housing, using a small flat-head screwdriver to release the locking tabs. Pull the cover downward and off of the deck lid, exposing the license plate bulb. Remove the old light bulb from the license plate bulb socket by hand. Wrap your new one in a paper towel and do not touch the bulb with your bare fingers. Insert the new bulb into the light socket. Install the finishing cover onto the light housing and push it upward until it clicks and locks into place.Repeat Steps 2 and 3 to complete the LED light conversion on the opposite side of the deck lid. Test the new bulbs by turning on the headlights on the Mazda 6. Mercedes Parts.
The fuse labeled REAR PARK LP 15A in the right instrument panel fuse box powers the rear park lamps, and the tag lamps. If your rear park lamps are working then you most likely need to replace the tag lamps (bulbs). Use the following procedure to replace the lamps.
To Remove:
Remove the two mounting screws from the license plate lamp.
Remove the license plate lamp from the rear bumper fascia.
Remove the license plate lamp socket by turning it counterclockwise.
To Install:
Install the license plate lamp socket by turning it clockwise.
Position the license plate lamp to the rear bumper fascia.
The back up lights may be on a separate fuse from the tail lights. The license plate light should be fused with the tail lights though. The bulbs are good on the license plate light too? Did you have the ignition switch on when you were checking the back up lights? It could be the neutral safety switch is out of adjustment or the switch is bad. Does the car start OK in both neutral and park? If so the switch adjustment is probably good, but the back-up light portion of the switch could be bad. That switch is located on top of the transmission, about right under the master cylinder for the brakes. You have to disconnect the shift cable lever from the trans to get the switch off.
First, your instrument panel lights. Make sure to check the knob on the dashboard to the left of the instrument panel which controls
the brightness of the instrument panel lights. Push the knob to get it to pop out. Turn the knob to adjust the brightness.
If that is not the problem, go to your fuse boxes. Check those in the interior fuse box (left kick panel, below the dash--fuse chart on the cover) and those in the engine compartment fuse box (far upper left as you face the car). If, after you replace anything that has blown, it blows again, that would suggest a short somewhere in the system. If you don't find any blown fuses (and I think you will) then it's time to go to the light bulbs. The tail light bulbs are accessed from inside the trunk. The license plate bulbs are just above the license plate and are accessed by removing two screws that hold the fixture in, then taking off the click plate and removing the bulbs. Hope this is of some help.
