If the above does not help, check the wires that lead into the trunklid via the right hinge near the battery. It can fray and short out. I posted here w/ pics when i had a trunk license plate lighting odie. Search for it.

Have u tried turning off and on again after replacing them?
Eventually pull out the ignition key, then back on and start the engine again.
You may deactivate the error checking with a DCAN or K+DCAN cable and modifying the LMA.TRC file.
Ia have at home the parameters to be modified, if u do own the cable.
