I have a 2007 Civic, and my tail lights stopped working. The brake lights work though. What is exactly is the name for the fuse, and where can it be found?

Rear tail lamp and in the fusebox in the engine bay.
Look at the different names and determine which is probably it, then check the fuse. It's real simple.

This.

It should label all the fuses in the box or the lid.

Here's and image from a manual for a 2009 I found online (don't have mine on hand atm). Which one should it be? I've checked 23 and 12.

Is that the only fuse box?

My car has one under the hood, and one on the side of the dash when you open the door.

I highly doubt that since the left tail light is brand new. I'll check it out anyway.

Check any fuse that has any relation to a bulb, possibly 14, 15, more likely 19?
