Check the MFS and its connectors. The corner stop lamps are not individually fused.

Had a similiar problem not too long ago.. Check the wires on the harness. Mine were split above the spare tire.

If both corners are out, it would take a simultaneous failure of two circuits to explain the fault. A disconnected or loose connector that is common to both circuits could do it. Odds are better that its a single point of failure, so go with the odds first.
