Why do the tail lights of my 1999 Passat only function when my high beam head lights are on?
It is possible that the problem you are experiencing with your 1999 Volkswagen Passat is caused by a fault in the vehicle's headlight switch. The headlight switch controls the operation of the tail lights, as well as the head lights, and a malfunction in the switch can cause the tail lights to only function when the high beams are on. It is also possible that the issue could be caused by a problem with the wiring in the vehicle, such as a loose connection or a short circuit. I recommend having a mechanic diagnose and repair the problem, as it could be a safety issue if your tail lights are not functioning properly. The mechanic will be able to determine the cause of the problem and repair it for you.
Why no tail lights on your 98 Volvo s70?
I had a similar problem with my S70 and discovered the headlight switch was defective. The switch had actually begun to separate causing the contacts for the tail lights not to make contact. Try having someone observe the tail lights while you push on the headlight switch. If the tail lights begin to work, replace the headlight switch.

Why do your tail lights work but not your brake lights?

Why are the lights off in the dash of a 1977 f 150?
First, check the tail lights. Turn on the headlights and see if the tail lights come on at the same time. If the tail lights come on but the dash lights don't, it's probably either the switch or the bulbs. If NEITHER come on, it could be the switch, the fuse and of course, still the bulbs.
