No Tail lights

Hello everybody.
The tail lights on my 1997 ranger have stopped working. I don't have an owners manual, can someone tell which fuse protects this circuit? If I replace the appropriate fuse and it continues to blow, does anyone know where I might look to correct this? This is my work truck, I would appreciate any help.

Thanks!!!

You shouldnt need an owner's manual to check the fuses....there should be a diagram on the back of the panel covering your fuses if I'm not mistaken. There should also be some spare fuses in there.

You should be able to log into the ford owners site and download an owners manual.

Welcome to FTE rhondo.
The tail lights are not fused separately from the "parking" lights.
You'll have to dig into them to see if you have power there or not. While you're at it, check the tail light grounds.
If you don't have any parking lights, then check fuse space #3.
