problem

today wen i wz going bak home i opened the truck with the remote and all the lights in trunk were working fine...and then i closed it . After that i started the car. and then after few seconds i saw that there are 3 malfunctions (2 license plate lights and brake light) . i got off my car and then in order to check i was trying to open the trunk but i couldnt. to make long story short, My 2 licence plate light, brake light, all the lights in the trunk and on top of that i cannot open the trunk with the remote and i can't even open it from the inside.
so what went wrong. i have no idea...is it the fuse...
if yes then is it possible i can change it by myself.

thank you

Age and mileage? Could be as simple as a broken wire in the trunk harness.....Could be as bad as a faulty rear sam.....

How long did it take to fix the broken wire? I'm afraid I am having the same problem.

Wish it's simple enough to fix ourselves.
