You have a short. One of the wires is grounding out or your fuses are blown. Check the fuses under the drivers side dashboard (by your left knee) with a test light. If you look at the top of each fuse you'll see a number (10, 15, 25...) on either side of that number you will see two strips of metal. Turn the vehicle on and attach the alligator clip to a ground (Bolt, Door frame...). Touch the pointed end to each strip of metal on each fuse. If the test light "lights up" the fuse is good. If not, replace the fuse with the exact number on the new fuse. If you're fuses are good, then you have an electrical short somewhere and you need a pro mechanic or electrician to find the short and fix it. If you find a "Blown fuse" and you replace it and the new fuse blows then you know you have a short. Good luck. check fuses or look for a broken wire

1997 suburban Brake lights and turn signals work but tail lights dont what do I do?
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.
Why dont your tail light brake lights or engine turn over but your head lights work and battery is fully charged?

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.
Mazda 626 brake light?
brake lights dont work
You have tail lights but no brake lights?
depending on the vehicle, most have a circuit board where the rear lights go in then on to the rear light covers.these tend to go out with time. you should pull the plug and test the wires to see if they have fire. if they dont then it will be the brake light switch located on the brake pedal under the dash. if it does have fire then it is the circuit boards.

Brake lights dont come on when braking bulbs work fine?
The right brake light does not work on 1999 Ford Windstar. Tail lights and blinking light works. Changed bulb more than once, changed the plug in where the bulb goes but it still does not work. The tag lights are not working either.

On a 1988 Toyota Camry what does it mean when the brake the charge and the tail light warning lights come on and all your lights dim and if they dont turn off your battery dies?
Possibly a bad alternator (the system is not charging the battery).
