Would need to test power from the headlamp switch . Go to http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html free wiring diagrams. Enter your vehicle info , year ,make , model an engine . Under system click on lighting ,then under subsystem click on external lights .Then trace out where the tail lamps get power , do you know about automotive electrical circuits ,how to read a wiring diagram . Go on youtube check out videos on basic automotive electrical trouble shooting , how to do voltage drop testing an how to read wiring diagrams . Then get yourself a DVOM - digital volt ohm meter . Then test the circuit ! That's how automotive electrical problems are found .

On the fuse chart, what is the abbreviation for the brake light fuse

Should all be the same fuze. Check the bulbs and whether the harness to the rear lights that usually runs through the trunk hasn't been pulled.

My brakelights are both not working after changing the bulbs, changing brake pedal sensor, and checking all fuses. The running lights, parking lights, turn signals, hazard lights all work. Please give me...

Probably the blinker switch ..The brake light circuit runs through the blinker switch..Let somebody look and while you have the brakes applied move the switch around and see if the lights come on

Have a 1986 chey k 10 truck. having problems with running tail light. i changed all the light bulbs. brake and blinker lights work but no running tail lights.

you may have bad sockets for the tail light circuit or a wiring problem under the rear of the truck along the bumper and drivers side frame area as this area takes a beating causing the wires to wear through rubbing and braking.also check the fuses as it could be just a fuse.

Dashboard lights and rear exterior running lights not working. blinkers, flashers, and brake lights work. regular tail lights won't work. Not finding a blown fuse. not finding any fuse listed as "tail...

the fuse is labled 'brake'

I would replace the fuse... and then have someone stand to the rear of the vehicle and watch the lights come on as I applied the brake... if the fuse blows again... note which tail light did NOT come on durring this test and replace the bulb.. it is grounding to itself and causing the short.

99 mercury mystide had rear running light broken

If the driver's side tail light is working, it's not a fuse. Use a test light to check for power at the bulb holder. One terminal will be for tail light, the other for brake/turn light. If the is constant power for tail light, replace bulb. If no power, trace wiring from bulb holder to driver's side junction. Probable broken wire between the two tail lights.

My tail lights dont work, its not a fuse, my blinkers and reverse lights work, its just my running lights and my brake lights that dont, any suggestions?

check the wire harness that runs from inside the trunk on the drivers side follow it down to the tail light and make shure the wires are not damaged or unplugged remove cover on the drivers side inspect the bulbs the holders and the wires and dont forgt to retighten all grounds that you find on your travels this should get the rear tail lights working also check the brake pedal switch up on the metal part of the brake pedal arm follow it up tp the brake pedal switch and acuate the switch by hand and check the wire voltage coming in and going out when pressing the brake pedal ok give this a shot
