Weird lighting issue, bulbs replaced and fuses checked...

[07liftback]

Okay, quick update... Turns out the cheap led bulb I bought had become defective and no longer worked with my low beams so that's one issue out of the way. Now it appears the center tail light does not receive any power whatsoever. I tested the two prongs with zero results and tried to ground each prong to the chassis which yielded zero voltage or continuity yet again. Side markers, front corner lights and the center tail light still won't come on when the headlight switch is turned.

By "center tail" I assume you mean the light at the top of the hatch window? If so, that is just a third brake light and it does not come on with the lights.

Yea, the high mounted stop light. Cool, so my car's now safe from fix-it tickets. Thanks CTScott! Hmm, still wondering what's up with the lights in the front. Probably a short...

Shorts pop fuses, so it is more likely a damaged wire or possibly even just two dead bulbs up there. Do the parking lights within the headlights light up?
