Are you missing power or ground at the bulbs? Do you have a tow package with a harness underneath the vehicle? check the wiring there.

Quite often the wires break inside the plug for the NSS. Mine has that problem right now and my mechanic buddy has ordered a plug from Mopar and it's on the way. You wouldn't think there is any vibration or mechanical reason for those protected wires to break, but salt and water does a number on them. I'm glad I had him check the switch while I had it in for a steering problem, otherwise I might have had a problem starting it later on.
