Default 06 Ram 1500 rear light issues

i have a 06 ram 1500 5.7. noticed on my way into work tonite, i have a big problem with all the rear lights of my truck. i have no taillight,brake light (no 3rd brake light as well), no turnsignals, or rear 4ways, or reverse lights. the truck has sat maybe a month with me doing nothing to it in the cold, and sitting outside. im pretty sure everything worked last time i drove it. i didnt check fuses, or relays yet, as im at work tonite. it does seem like an awful lot to lose on some fuses if you ask me tho. i wouldnt know where else to start with this. is there a known problem that i should look for?

First thing would be to check the fuses.

Sounds like your TIPM has had a failure.

i feel dumb for even posting this. but when i got home, everything but 3rd brake worked. i dont know if i have a short, with wires rubbing together or what exactly is going on. but i would also think if wires were rubbing, shouldnt it pop a fuse?
3rd brake, turned out to be a blown bulb.

SteveCZ28,

Have you had a chance to check the fuses or replace the blown bulb yet? If so, is everything working well at this point?
