2003 mercedes benz e320 tail lights not working

Hello guys, im wondering if anyone would kindly help me with this issue that im having with my 2003 Mercedes benz e320 RWD

So, my rear tail lights are constantly out except the running lights on the right side and other than that nothing is working, I’ve checked the wiring in the rear SAM and checked the fuses and everything is looking fine, when I asked the guy I bought the car from he said at some point someone spilled a drink in the front passenger seat or on the footwell idk maybe that’s the problem. Is there a control module that powers the tail lights under that passenger seat or underneath the carpet? someone please help 😭
Also the trunk won’t open with the remote or from the inside, i have to use the metal key to unlock it

if you guys know what part that im supposed to change, can someone send me the part number so i can fix this?
