Default Tail lights -seperate fuse?

Hi All,
I was pulled over last night because I have no tail lights.
2008 FEH.

Brake lights, turn signals, 4-ways all work fine. I usually drive around with the lights in 'auto' mode so I have no idea how long this has been going on. I am a little worried it is related to getting a trailer hitch and harness installed last year, but hopefully it is a simple fuse...

Anyone replaced such a fuse or had similar issue?

Just found that my fuse #22 "Park Lamps" is blown. Hopefully that is it.

Not the most straightforward name...

I am having the exact same problem with my 2008 FEH. Did replacing fuse 22 solve the problem?

It turns out that the module for the wiring harness I had installed about a year ago had melted and was shorting. The dealer said to make sure I get a heavier duty one if I replace it, but for now it is disconnecting and everything is fine.
