Lighting Malfunction?

Hi Guys
My car decided to go berserk this afternoon. I got a 'lighting malfunction'. My boot lid won't open (435 GC), the backup camera/sensors don't kick on in reverse and my rear turn signals don't work. Seems like a fuse?
It decided to throw a check engine light at me too.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I agree that it sounds like fuse, but looking at some diagrams I am seeing the rear locking mechanism and the camera system on different circuits/fuses except for the bigger mains. Would seem you would have more issues if one of the mains were out.

U would suggest checking them one by one.

If you have a short to ground, be glad you have an EW/CPO.

It was a Rear Johnson Module.
Thanks CPO.
I'm very impressed by the diagnostic process my mech went through. My faith in the brand is rising.
