Parking lighting not on

[Mac Listo]

I recently jumped my coworkers vehicle multiple times this morning to get it back to the shop so we could have the alternator replaced. Now, my bumper and rear tail lights do not work when I turn on the parking lights. Turn signals work, headlights work and even the brake lights work but the tail lights do not turn on with headlights on or parking on.

Its raining outside and I cannot check the fuses. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't anything else.

I figure out that its my fuse popping. It only seems to be popping when I turn on the hatch defroster. Any work arounds and solutions to this?

Alright, its not the defroster. Its not the rear licenseplate bulbs. I did notice that from being on a wet and muddy job site that there is mud behind my turn signal lights (I dont have the wheel well protectors after I rolled my fenders) and I took off my side lights and cleaned them up a bit and it lasted the whole 30 minute trip home. Ill keep you guys posted.
