Are you sure the rear marker light is on? The rear marker light is the small 194 wedge bulb on the upper edge of the tail light assembly. You should be able to pull out the light bracket from the tail housing and turn on the lights to see if that bulb really is coming on or not.

No idea why they're out. Would have to check with your shop on that. Either way, if you're simply replacing with standard halogen 194/T10/w5w wedge bulbs, just simply plug it in as it'll be polarity independent. If using LED bulbs, then depending on who's LEDs you go with, there might be polarity dependencies.

At least it turned out to be an easy fix with a simple bulb replacement rather than messy and potentially expensive electricals.

I have the same warning for my "right rear side light".. BUT,,, when I went outside, the bulb was not on,,, I tapped the outside of the light, and it turned on. I think there is something that gets loose on these lights.
