Question Please HELP!!! ASAP

About an hour ago my LED license plate bulb started flickering. I pulled it out, put it back in and both the lights went out. Also my taillights are not working when my lights are on ( the brake lights work) and the light around the radio went out. I checked all the fuses twice and they seem to be fine, its raining and its dark now so its hard to see very well. Please let me know what it could be or which fuse would it be. Thank you in advance

check under your hood for one of those bigger fuses, its near the battery.

and did u check with one of those circuit testers? if you check those bigger fuses that have 1-5 smaller fuses, if one goes bad, the whole thing goes bad.

Next thing to test is ground points and battery voltage. Do u have a voltmeter? If you do, it should run around 12 volts. If you dont, turn on your headlights and compare the level to normal level

Did you pull out and re-insert the bulb when the lights were on? If so, that's what blew the fuse. I had this happen in my FX35. Took me forever to find the "hidden" fuse box that the culprit fuse was in. It was behind the battery (had to remove the plastic trim around the battery and windshield to get to it under a black cover. Not sure, but I figure the Z has a similar box located in that position...

Yeah it happened as I was reinserting the bulb. I found two fuse boxes. one by the driver inside the car and one located by the battery.

The one I'm referring to is a third box BEHIND the battery. Trim has to be removed to access it. Again, this was on my FX35, but essentially the same under the hood as the Z/G35, so check it out.
