Replace your TAIL LPS fuse.

Wouldn't that mean that his taillights wouldn't work either?
Does the CHMSL use a different fuse?

He said his tail lights (running lights) weren't working. The TAIL LPS fuse is somewhat mislabeled - RUNNING LPS would be a better description. It protects all of the running lights including the tail lights, license lights, side marker lights, fog lights, and front running lights as well as the dash lights through the IP DIMMER fuse. It doesn't connect to the brake light, turn signal, or hazard flasher circuits so those would be unaffected.

What Whitebird00 meant is that the IP DIMMER fuse gets its power from the TAIL LPS fuse. So if the TAIL LPS fuse is blown, there will be no power at the IP DIMMER fuse.
