No tail lights.

Bought it from a dealer approximately 8 months ago. Blinkers, and brake lights work. All the bulbs, other than the license plate light have been pulled, ohmmetered, and turned on with a battery charger. Same story for every fuse I can find in the car, drivers side fuses in the car and engine compartment fuses. There seems to be a light out on the shift selector.

I found the red wire with blue stripe (should be tail light) under the dash in 2 places near the fuses. It won't light up a tester with the headlight switch on or off.

Q: Could a shift selector light burnt out cause all to go out (safety thing like the brakes lights and shift selctor not moving)?
Q: Could a burnt out license plate light cause the above?
Q: Any advice how to open the headlight switch and test it?
Q: Any other item to test that I am completely missing?

Thanks for any info or advice!!!!

Mike

You need to test for power with a test light at the tail light bulb, If you have power it could be a bad bulb or ground. IF you do not have power then trace the circuit back to the light switch.

SOURCE: Neither of my license plate lights work on my 2006 Nissan Xterra.

it is most likley a wiring problem or the corosion, the license plate lights are tied to the tail lights.

SOURCE: brake and dash lights no working

Had a similar problem and fixed it by installing a new headlight switch / turn signal lever. Hope this helps.

License plate light

The licence plate doesn't have a fuse, it comes on when you put your lights on, if you have your park lights on and the plate light isn't working then generally it's just a bulb, see what you can find, cheers good luck

Brake lights on both sides are out. 2008 jeep liberty limited. 3rd light above hatch works. Tail lights work. Blinkers work. License plate light works. Bulbs are good. Replaced the brake light...

The lower brakes lights are not on the same circuit as the upper third "high" mount, so this is either a fuse issue from a short in the system or it is a brake light switch problem, if the park lock works (auto transmission only) the system has power and the problem lies in the wiring. attached is a link to a wiring diagram source, trace the circuit. http://bbbind.com/free_tsb.html

1991 Park avenue, Tail lights and license's plate light's stopped working turn signal's hazards and brake lights still functional. but no tail lights or license plate lights

Check for Power on your License Plate Light, more than likely you have lost GROUND

Turn Signals, Do the Front Work and the Back don't? If NONE then FLASHER FUSE

License plate lights do not work. Bulbs changed still does not work. The right brake light does not work. Changed bulb and plug. Turning signals work, tail lights work. All works on the left side.

Well for the license plat you might wanna check the fuse. and the brake light if one works fine then I'm sure you need a new bulb in the other side. Good luck

2001 dodge neon tail lights inop

looking at your schematics and , you say tail lights don't work , you didn't mention if front parking lights and license plate lights are working , they all come from the same source , a black /yellow wire , a good clue if front work and rear don't , please advise .if fronts work then you have a open circuit somewhere between junction S118 (near breakout for left headlamp) and rear sockets.
