I'll check the fuses in the AM as a last crack at it before I take it to the shop. I figure if it was the fuses they wouldn't work at all, no?
There are separate fuses for ds turn/ stop, ps turn/ stop, ds park lamps, ps park lamps, back up lamps, brake lamps, ds low beam, ps low beam...some are under the hood, some in the interior left side of the instrument panel. Do your front park lights work?

Great question - I never checked the front park. I just know the front headlights work. I’ll look thru the fuses and see as well

tail lights and backup lights are different I believe

Right on... there’s 4 lights in the taillight housing and the middle back up light goes on when I put it in reverse and the 3rd light from the top also works when I apply the brakes and/or put the turn signal on. When I turn the knob up front that turns the headlights on that’s when the drivers side tail lights won’t come on at all and it’s just the left (driver) side taillights. The right side (passenger) is functioning properly.

Yeah like I said before, there’s a driver side park lamp fuse and a separate passenger side park lamp fuse.
