Check the fuse and inspect the taillights for a good ground. Check the harness connectors also.

None of the dashboard lights work on my 1988 Prelude. Why?

Check fuses and bulbs first.

If the brake lights on a 1988 Jeep Comanche are functioning while the tail lights and dash lights are not, it could indicate a problem with the tail light circuit or the associated fuses. A blown fuse specifically for the tail lights or a bad ground connection could prevent them from lighting up, while the brake light circuit remains operational. Additionally, the issue may stem from a faulty switch or wiring in the tail light assembly. Checking the fuses, grounds, and connections would be a good first step in troubleshooting the problem.
sounds like the brake light switch needs replacing.the switch is on the brake pedal under the dash. easy job and parts are not expensive
