Are the front park lights operational? These are tied into the tail lights as well. If the front park lights are operational and the rear are not, suspect bad/burned out bulbs. If no park lights operational, suspect fuse or wiring

sometimes when one of your bulbs is out it does that to all off the start with your turn signal bulbs other wise its you regulater fuse located under the hood

change the bulb the are two fillaments in the bulb one for the brake lite and one for the tail lite

The Tail lights and Instrument lights are usually on the same circuit so both will go out if the fuse for the circuit blows. Check for a blown fuse for this circuit and replace if out. If fuse continues to fail, check the tail light or side globes for a faulty globe and replace if necessary. Also check for any chafed wires that could be shorting to the body causing the fuse to blow.

Check the grounds on your wiring.
If you have a trailer harness, make sure there are no shorts, or crusty connections

Good Luck chasing the gremlins

dash lights, tail lights, park lights and plate lights do share the same source of power for pickups.
try to replace your dash light and tail light bulbs, it would probably solve your problem.

is the switch on the colum or on the dash

Very common issue is the lamp assembly (dealer item). They are very bad to ground back through the tail lamp filament, lights on the path has voltage on it and the lamp will not work.

if u have trailer plug check there for broken wire at plug elect.connection,if not,usually on trucks wire damage is at rear,if lights are working in frt.check elect.circuit from tail light housing going to frt
