Check the brake light switch first. It is usually near the brake pedal under the dash. A bad turn signal switch can also cause this if the brake lights are also turn signal lights. If the brake lights are independent of the turn signals then disregard the switch problem. A good wiring diagram will help to diagnose the problem also. Check with dealership mechanics as they have access to diagrams.

What is wrong with a 1996 Toyota Camry if taillights do not work you have checked all the fuses and replaced the bulbs daytime running lights work blinkers work headlights work brake lights work?

Why might the daytime running lights not work?

check fuses if ok it should be the emergency brake switch, when ebrake is on the lights will stay off. depending on the the car/truck there is a control relay. Make sure all fuses have been checked inside vehicle and the engine compartment there is fuses there too . Check Wiring for any shorts, broken,brittle wires . You have to look under the dash to do this . Follow wiring to the relay and test all for power. For best diagrams all data Make sure that your parking brake isn't on. Faulty Ambient Light Sensor.


Do your taillights not work when headlight is out 1991 Mazda truck?

If your headlights and tail lights do not work, check your fuses in the fuse box just below the steering wheel at the speaker LHS. If all the lighting fuses are good it most likely is the headlight switch assembly in the steering column is bad, dirty or poor contacts electrically. If your turn signals and brake lights work and reverse lights this would indicate the wiring is probably fine.
