I had a problem once with my 97 Ford F 150 where the brake lights were reversed. On all the time except when I pushed on the pedal on the wires that went to my boat trailer.
It was a simple relay that was fried. Took it to Firestone and there "Master Repairman" said everything was off on the trailer electric connection. I knew that was incorrect because it used to work just fine.
Took it to the Ford dealer and within 20 min diagnosed the problem with a cheap fix of about 30 dollars.

Your tail lights wont work when your headlights are on The brake lights dont work at all Fuses are fine Headlight switch is good What is wrong with your tail lights and brake lights?
I suspect either a faulty ground circuit, or a much easier fix, faulty bulb/bulbs. You might be surprised the havoc a grounded out bulb will cause an electrical system.

Brake lights and turn signals are on a separate circuit from the tail lights. Tail lights are on the same circuit with the dashboard lights. If the dashboard lights aren't working either, check the fuse. If they ARE working, check the headlight switch.

What is the problem when head lights are on and the tail lights dont work but the brake lights work?
If the headlights are on and brake lights work but not the tail lights, it is possible there is a short in the electrical wires. Another cause for this could be that the tail light bulbs are burned out. Most vehicles have more than one bulb inside the tail lights to control different lights at the same time.

Pop the hood, take off the front grill, remove old lights, replace with new ones. The headlights will probably be mounted on a frame.

Why dont the lights on a 95 Geo come on when the fuses and bulbs are good and the turn signals work?
Sounds like it's simply a bad switch if you're talking about the normal headlights. If it's daytime running lights there is a "kill switch" in the handbrake that turns them on when the brake is released and off when the brake is activated.
