Question tail lights,dash,and plate lights are out on my 87 z31 n/a anybody how to fix?

Whats up peoples my tail lights,dash,and plate lights are out I have already checked the fuses and the bulbs. It might be the tail lights sensor but the brake lights and the turning signal still work could it still be that????

check all the wiring that goes under the carpet because if your hatch seal is leaking water that might have cause a short..check all the wiring and the actual bulb sockets itself..because i had an issue like this on one side and just so happened to be one of the sockets were corroded. Good luck.

check for wire shorts and check all fuses, relays etc. If every thing looks good and it still exists, use a multimeter to check voltage and the socket where the bulb latches on to..
