The right rear bank of lights (driving, directional, breaking and backup) are not working. All the lights bulbs are fine and not burned out. I cannot find if there is a fuse for this. Not apparent from the fuse box…Any experiences and recommendations would be appreciated

I’d suggest checking the plug to the lighting module containing the bulbs. And checking the module’s ground.

The individual light circuits may have different fuses, and all of the lighting is probably going to be controlled by a lighting control module, but if either of those were defective it would be affecting both sides. A loose plug or bad ground is the most likely possibility.
