The rear tail lights are not working. The rear brake light works just fine. The rear turn signals and license plate light work. It's the rear tail light and sidelights that are not working on the rear. The front blinkers work and the side lights work (meaning when the key is on the side lights are on). The tail light and side light are supposed to be on when the key is on. Checked fuses and gave the wiring a once over for defect. Not sure where to start? Appreciate any assistance.

It is possible that the light itself is bad ..... you can unplug the light and use a test probe and see if it is getting power , or you can run a jumper wire (with it unplugged) and connect it to the brake light that you know works , then turn it on , it should light up , if not then the light itself is the issue , I don't know on that model if it is a light bulb or a LED , but either way , those tests should give you a answer , if you are not getting power to the bulb , the test probe will help trace it to where the power stops (the clamp goes to a good ground and you poke the probe into the wire itself or touch the connector) , if you are getting power the probe will light ....

Test Probe

The test lamp often beats the multimeter when looking for power.
The multimeter shows 12 volts but you still might have enough current to light a lamp.

Maybe it's time to change out the light kit completely. Don't know if you're still running the stock light.
