Wire harness at the trunk lid (l.h.s) . Where it hinges , wires tend to break there and short which controls the brake lights, blinkers, reverse lights, dashlights. Over time from opening and closing the trunk the wire break and come into contact with the other wires. I have had my fuse blow and not know it and have had cars behind me almost hit my car or people yelling at me saying I have no break lights.
