You sure you have checked all the relevant fuses .......... Sorry to sound like ya mom, but car manufacturers have taken to putting supplementary fuse boxes all over the place & they can be a pig to find ......

Is the power getting to the lamp clusters ?
Whats at the other end of each bulbs supply line ?
Does the lh tail lamp share a fuse with the rh tail lamp (Some cars they do, some not)

Does your local ford garage have a pub across the road ? ........ If so call in at 5:00 pm & buy your friendly neighbourhood spanner monkey a pint & plain old ask him for suggestions.

Failing all that, set the confounded thing on fire

Not sure about the KA, some fords you need to take the glove box out and the fuse box which has the tail light fuses in is in there.

Does the numberplate light work still or is that out aswell?
If it's working, then it's not a fuse or 'front end' wiring problem. Im aso pretty sure the sidelights are fused left and right on the ka.
