You've checked both fuse boxes? There's one under the steering wheel and one in the engine bay.

Has there been any mods made to any electrical systems in the past. Also, no dimmer switch? The one on my Yaris is off to the left by my knee below the cup holder. Look there and try again. The tail lights may be a separate issue. Its worth a look...just fishin here.

The Australian ones do not have a dimmer switch.
Check again the TAIL fuse in the fuse box that is under the bottom of the dash. Try simply replacing the fuse, as sometimes the fuses blow in such a way that the opening is not obvious when you look at the fuse.
