Did you check for a fuse that says TAIL LIGHTS? The bulbs have 2 different filaments in them, one for just lighting the tail lights and the other filament is only used when braking, turn signal and flasher. There are 2 separate circuits. Look in your fuse box and see if you have a fuse for tail lights and see if it is blown. Although it looks like the same light, andin fact is the same bulb but with two different fillaments, the brake lights, signals and hazzards are on a different circuit than the tail lights, clearance lights and dash lights.

What is a cheater bar on the trailer dump on a 18 wheeler?
Maybe you're thinking of a Johnson bar, which is either attached to the steering column or on the dash, and is used to actuate the trailer brakes without actuating the remaining brakes? Real handy for extendable RNG trailers, where you must keep air supplied to the trailer, but have to apply the trailer brakes. A cheater bar is the bar used to tighten down strap winches and chain binders on flatbed and other open deck trailers.

What is primary and secondry air?
If you're referring to air brake systems, primary air supplies service air pressure to the brakes on the drive axles and the trailer axles when the foot valve is used to brake. The secondary air system supplies service pressure to the brake system on the steer axle, as well as the trailer when the hand valve is used to apply the trailer brakes.

97 gmc pickup no tail or brake lights?
Check the bulbs. I'm not sure on a 97, but there used to be a connector at the back that connected the wires from the front to the lights. At the back edge of the bed underneath. These can become corroded. Had any trailer lights added? Lost the ground wire underneath, caught it on something maybe? Since it is the tail and brake lights both, it has to be at the back end. Simplest solution is to stick a new bulb in just to make sure. You have probably already done this, but I mention it anyway.
How do you say tail lights in German?
"Heckleuchten" and "Schlussleuchten" are the most commonly used terms .
2007 tacoma prerunner i added a trailer harness but ever sense i plugged my trailer in my trailer lights wont come on when i turn on the switch all fuses are good but i have no power to lights?
Make sure that the wiring harness is properly grounded. Baring that, there is probably a short in the wiring somewhere. A short means the two wires used in trailer lighting are touching someplace.
What could be the reason for the tail lights and dash lights to go out when the turn signals are used on a 1997 Mazda LX?
There is a short somewhere in the wiring.
