Reverse Lights and Third Brake Light Out

Well, I just found out that my reverse and third brake light are out, and I checked the bulbs, and they are good. DOes anybody have a fuse diagram? I could not locate one in the manual, and am wondering if it is the fuses. Anyone have any other ideas as to what might be the problem? Thanks.

I don't know about the backup lights but I do know that the 3rd brake light is directly controlled by the switch on the pedal. I don't think there is a fuse on it. Do you have a trailer with electric brakes and do the work? The sensing wire for the trailer brakes is on the same circuit as the third brake light.

The trailer lights are on a different circuit still, the sensing wire that actuates the trailer brake controller is on the same circuit as the third brake light.
