The tail light will be held on by scews, remove the screws to remove light assembly, then you can access the wiring to the stop/ tail light bulb, which Wil be a split bayonet 5w/21w 12V.
Is the interior light switch turned all the way off? As for the signals check for 12V at the bulb. If its there you have a bad bulb, poor connection, bad socket, or poor/open ground. If no voltage at the bulb you have an open circuit or bad signal switch, you need to do more troubleshooting of the circuit to find the problem.
best thing to do is check all your fuses. Just remove each fuse, look to make sure its good, then replace it. you don't want to mix them up, just look at each one to make sure its good. You might find fuses that were blown that you didn't even know you had. Here is a picture to show you the difference between a bad vs good fuse and what your looking for:
My first thought was a blown bulb so i would check your bulb first, and you might want to check to see if the light switch is faulty.
First check both front and rear lft side bulbs. Then, I would check the signal relay. I think it is under the dash one the left side. Here is want your are looking for. A new one cost about $12-$15 at most parts stores. Last I would suspect the signal switch assembly on the column. (Perchance you have a trailer hitch plug? If so look there too)
Check the ground for the backup light-I'll bet it shares a ground with the interior lights.When you put it in reverse,it is feeding 12v to one side of the bulb,and instead of going through the bulb to a ground,it is seeking a ground elsewhere(through the interior light).The lights are dim because it has created a series circuit,so the bulbs are running at a lower voltage.
the cover off the lights might just pop off, look for screws and sets first. hmm may not be bulbs could be a fuse under the dash usually on driver side, look for panel in dash, if your lucky they'll be a legend that tells you what fuse does what, usually dashboard and interior lights are on the same fuse, making me think that's the problem not the bulbs. One or to bulbs maybe, but all of em? gotta be fuse that's my final answer lol
