Check the fuse. That is the only way you are going to eliminate whether it is the problem. Here is a link to the fuse box diagram. The tail light fuse is fuse 31. Might as well eye the fuses to see if anything else might be blown. https://www.autogenius.info/lexus-es300-1997-fuse-box-diagram/
If not a fuse, you may have to replace a bulb. If you turn on your headlights and the taillights are not illuminated, prepare to replace bulbs. Well, it's likely, anyway.
Open the trunk and locate the tail light assembly.
Remove the screws or clips that hold the assembly in place.
Gently pull the assembly away from the car.
Locate the bulb that needs to be replaced and twist it counterclockwise to remove it.
Insert a new bulb and twist it clockwise to secure it in place.
Reattach the tail light assembly and test if it's working.
There may be two locations, main fuse box for your vehicle will have one and they have them on the wire for tail lights just a few inches away from the tail light bulb, you should be able to see it when replacing the bulb...
Check your fuse box. Look in the manual for location of fuse box and location of tail light fuse and replace fuse. You can switch a fuse of the same amps to test out brake lights first, if they work, replace the fuse you tested with and get another fuse at auto parts store. Sometimes the dealer leaves extra replacement fuses in the fuse box so look around before you buy. If that does,\'t work check your bulbs. The may both be bad. Check your wires where they meet the bulbs for corrosion or breakage. Good luck
Power is supplied to the instrument illumination by the "TAIL/ILLUM LIGHT" fuse, Fuse #4 (15 Amp) located in the dash fuse block under the left side of the dash. This fuse provides power for both the primary and secondary sides of the TAIL LIGHT relay. The Combination (Headlamp) switch provides a ground path for the primary circuit of the TAIL LIGHT relay. When the primary circuit is completed by the Combination switch, the secondary contacts close and provide power to the tail lamps as well as to all of the instrument illumination bulbs. The ground for the instrument illumination bulbs is a variable-resistance circuit which is controlled by the illumination controller. The final ground for both the combination switch and the illumination controller is Ground G302, located under the center console.
in the rear lights you may have two bulbs one is the turn signal the other one is stop light / tail light the stop light / tail light has two filaments, one for the stop light (21 watt) & one for the tail light (5 watt) it is possible that the tail light filament is blown, try replacing the bulb to see if that fixes the problem,also check all the fuses as well.......hope this helps......cheers.
This could be your reason. Some vehicle come equiped with a double filiment bulb. It could be that this part of your tail light bulb is blown. Try removing one of the bulbs to see if the filiment is broken. If you can not see this, replace the bulb.
The other senario is that the fuse in your fuse panel controling your tail lights (running light) is blown. This is usually on a seperate fuse than your brake lights. Your owner's manual should state which fuse is what on your panel and replace is with the exact same ratted fuse that it calls for.
You may have a fried fuse. Look in your owners manual to find out which fuse it is in the fuse box diagram. If that is the problem make sure to use the same amperage fuse to replace the burned one with. I fried fuse is usually a sign that you have a short somewhere. But they can also fry for other reasons such as excess moisture somewhere. Sometimes they just burn from age and fatigue. It may solve it to just replace the fuse, but if there really is a short, the new fuse will fry too.
Look at fuse #18, a 15 amp fuse, in the fuse block. This fuse powers both the tail lights and instrument cluster lights. Usually both of these light systems are powered by the same fuse so when your cluster isn't lit up you'll know right away that your tail lights aren't working as it's not safe to drive without tail lights. Your brake, turn, and head lamps are powered by different circuits. Hope this helps and good luck!
You should have a fuse panel under you dash inside. This is where the fuses are located for lights. Don't know the exact location, but you can pull each fuse to see if it is bad. This won't hurt anything. It just keeps you from hunting down a diagram of where the fuse is located.
Most cars these day's have separate bulbs for each function ie: tail, turn, stop & back up. Turn the light's on & double check the position of the bulb on the side that is working and go from there, also before you pull your hair out check your fuse's because some model's have a fuse for each light ie: Lt low beam, Lt high beam ect... hope this help's you. Good luck!
