Pauline would help if you told us the make and model of your car please .If you have a trunk, check if any wires run up the hinge the wire inside the insulation will crack and some short out puting back lights and front on..Or it may be the blinker and flasher stalk on the steering column. Just a shot in the dark not knowing your car.
SOURCE: i have no tail lights
change the tail light bulb, maybe use either 1034 or 1057 for older model American cars, you can take the tail light out any get another one see if it is working.

Just found the answer on another site. Sure enough went out removed the 3 philips head screws in the steering column opened it up and walla a wire connection had pulled itself free. When my son uses my truck he always uses the tilt steering, when I get in I have to readjust it. because of this the wire connection pulled itself out. I simply pushed it back in an blinker and brake light are now working. My husband is now trying to figure a way to secure the wire connection so it doesn't pull itself out again. Hope this helps others, either by saving the cost of a dealership or machanic or from getting rear ended.

I AM LOOKING AT THE COMBINATION SWITCH.IT HAS A SHORT TO GROUND IN IT.
SOURCE: My headlights work but my tail lights don't,
check the fuse box check the running lights also one bad bulb could cause it to go all wacky.

mporteous, It sounds like you have a light switch problem. I can't think of any other reason for the running lights and tail lights not working in this situation. Are your brake lights working when the headlights are off and how about when they are on? Do your four ways hazard lights work in these situations? Try all the lights under these conditions. The reason the left turn signal blinks very fast is because one of the bulbs are burned out. Try the left signal and one light (front or back) will stay on and the other will not come on at all. Replace the bulb that does nothing. Do this before you try all the lights in different situations. I think that you will have to replace the light switch. Good luck with this.
