Check the dimmer switch, connectors and if there is a solenoid, check it too. i have recently bought a 97 sunfire in which the dims and one high beam did not work, nor the running lights...after some troubleshooting i started ripping apart the wiring for the lights and found that where the wires were connected they were covered with something resembling Duct Tape, and upon opening the 'duct tape' i found all the wires were corroded and were basically dust...i trimmed the wires back a bit and reconnected them, there were a few (about 5) places wehre i had to do this, all on the wire running between each headlight, starting from the wire harness down the line...i fixed all the connections and my headlights work great..maybe this will work for you...

How can i fix a 1999 Pontiac sunfire that the tail lights and brake lights are not working but daytime runners and back window brake light works what is wrong?

On my 98 sunfire, the tail lights and marker lights only work if you turn on the headlights. If only the daytime lights are on, the Pontiac on the trunk is illuminated but no other lights at the rear until brakes or turn signals are activated. This is common with a lot of vehicles out there. Daytime running lights are not necessarily the same candle power as the headlights. I can tell a big difference in mine.

Where is the day light switch on a 1995 Sunfire?

I'm guessing that you want to be able to turn off the daytime running lights on your car. As far as I know, there is no such switch on the Sunfire. The daytime running lights are on whenever the car is running and is in gear.
