^Welcome to the forum, this isnt the best place to be asking that, but Ill answer as best I can:

There is a fuse box in the drivers side footwell on the left, behind the battery, and I think there is one more under the hood but I cant remember where it is.

I'm not sure if this is a fuse issue or not, but both of my sidemarkers completely shut off randomly. It's never both at the same time, it's one or the other side that goes off and doesn't turn back on until some sort of miracle happens. Even if I signal or use the hazards, it still won't light up or blink. Front and rear turn signals are fine. Just the sidemarkers. I tried swapping out the bulbs when it happened, no change. Yesterday the driver one was off. When I garaged my car last night I noticed in a reflection that it had turned back on

Is there such thing as a loose fuse? I keep forgetting to, but I'll try to remember to try the multi-meter on the wires next time it goes off. Anyone else have or have heard of this issue?

I realize this is an old thread but I've searched everywhere and can't find more on this subject. I have a 2005 coupe where everything works except sidemarkers. Checked fuses behind battery and all ok but none specifically for the sidemarkers?

Before I start pulling wheel-wells, thought I'd be sure I wasn't missing something. Also if I do need bulbs, what are stock ones for an '05? Thanks much!

That is where your missing fuse is . If you have projectors you might notice that the city lights are out too!

IPDM-ER - got it - box behind the battery... fuse not missing, just not blown and tail lights work fine.

"City lights"? Is that for Canada maybe? I'm USA and only see high, low, fog, parking and turning lights mentioned besides "clearance lights". No projectors I know of.

Car is '05 stock to my knowledge and manual only says xenon for headlights.

Must be bulbs then?

Yes sorry it is for the clearance lights. You have the reflectors. Do those clearance light strip lights work or are they bad too? If they are bad that is your fuse.

Opps, sorry, I mistakenly referenced the side markers in 1st post but meant the clearance lights. My bad.

Clearance lights in/op, tail light fuse OK. Any other fuse it could be? Thanks!

My sidemarker lights, parking lights, tail lights, and license plate lights won't turn on. This happened right after I replaced my parking lights. Unfortunately the OP's pics don't work anymore, does anyone know how to fix? Does it sound like a fuse problem? Do I check the fuse box behind the battery?

Yes, it sounds like a fuse problem, check the fuses. If one's blown and it blows immediately after replacement/testing, you'll need a lot more in-depth diagnosis to find out what's causing it to blow.
