I would imagine it could be, but i dont think theres a relay for the lights. It seems like there was a short that somehow managed to burn thru the wire, hence why its not popping the fuse. if it were a relay sticking, the fuse wouldnt have popped, and you may have also experienced the lights staying on.

So there is probably a wire burned through. Great! If i have to run a brand new wire ill be pissed.

I would start by replacing all the fuses that have anything to do with the lights. That's cheap and easy, on the panel in the left side of the dash accessed by opening the driver's door. If that doesn't work, roll up your sleeves, grab a continuity tester, a spool of wire, and go to work...

I finally figured it out. I put a fresh fuse in the slot, Started removing my taillights to inspect them, And the fuse popped. Thats when i knew i found the problem. My taillights were held in with only the bottom screw, Dont know why but they were. So my guess is water got in there and just reeked havoc on the wiring. But now that i cleaned it all out and bought new bulbs. It works great again and i dont have to ride my brake at night!
