My rear light tail lights do not work. additionally, my instrument panel which houses the speedometer does not light up. The bulb failure alert light is illuminated.

I replaced the entire passenger side rear light assembly, which fixed the problem for several months, but now it has recurred. I have checked all the bulbs in the assembly, and they seem OK. I have replaced the fuse, to no effect. The brake lights work and the turn signal works.

Could this be a problem with the bulb failure warning relay?

Or is this more likely a problem with a wiring ground somewhere?

Probably a ground issue.
