Side Markers Quit Working

My side markers no longer work...Yes, I checked the bulbs and tried brand new ones. I tried to search on here but the stupid search button doesnt work. I dont have an owners manual so I dont know if there is a fuse for this. I was wondering if anyone knew where the side markers connect at so I can make sure the connection is good.

The side markers are in the same circuit as the tail light, parking light, and license plate light.
So if these are out too, check the 10A TAIL fuse (the fuse panels list all the fuses).
If that fuse is OK, check the TAIL relay.

Side markers are required in many states, and many also require that they illuminate amber (hence my clears with stealth bulbs).

OP, as Jon cites same circuit as other exterior lights, so check them and the fuse.
