I would think its the fuse box under the hood. But I have been wrong lots of times.

Not even sure what to check on that. Can't find a fuse linked to tail and license lights .

Tail light fuse is labeled parking lamps. that covers tail lights and tag light.
Check and clean the ground wires in the back also. There is one near the plug. and pull the tail lights there may be a ground behind them also.

I had a similar issue and it was my multifunction switch. Well actually mine just came unplugged.

The harness that is in the column that attaches to the MFS is short. If you tilt the wheel it pulls on the connection and sometime pulls enough to make it act up. Trying tilting the wheels up some to see if that works.
