Tail light issues

My tail lights all of a sudden decided to quit working. My front parking lights work fine and so do the brakes and turn signals. Also the rear license plate lights do not work. Is there a seperate fuse that controls these or are all the parking/tail lights/license plate lights on the same fuse? Is there any place that commonly causes a problem such as this?
I looked along the length of the wire up to where it enters the engine compartment and didn't see any obvious breaks in the wire.
Thanks
Tim

Now this morning the rear directional lights do not work. Must be a bad connection somewhere. I guess I'll get some electric grease and hit the connections with it. Unless someone has some other ideas on what it might be.
Thanks
Tim

Figured out what the problem was tonight. When one of the previous owners decided to change the trailer light harness, he must have broken the connector right there. It was zip tied together with three or four small zip ties that stretched and lost the connection.
Only took me about 30 minutes to find the problem
