*Thanks for the advice! I had a drivers side taillight out on my 2009 Jeep Wrangler. Replaced the bulb but still didn't work. Checked the fuse box and sure enough, one of the 15amp blue fuses was blown. Put a new one in and boom! It's back working again! Thanks again*
What if break light is working and taillight is not?
I second this, I can’t figure it out
@@TwoStepTeggy I had to bring it to shop. There was an issue with a wire that ran through the wires for the trailer hitch, so they just bypassed that. Basically, I think it comes down to an exposed wire somewhere along the way.
I did everything you said on your video I still have that problem How many fuses are there for a 2013 Honda Pilot?
My issue is with the brake/turn-signal llight on the pass-side of a 97 Silverado.
It's not working and the bulb is fine, fuse is fine.
I took the whole assembly off the right side and put it on the left side and it works on the left.
I guess everyone is here for this problem and no one is able to answer this question that also is mine... SOMEONE PLEASE HELP.
I just read your comment Sam. It sounds like you have a bad ground.
You're going to have to get underneath and physically look at wires from the back to to the front, to make sure nothing is pinched or broken or disconnected.
Depending on your car there can be numerous connections and adapters.Just disconnect and reconnect them one at a time.
Sam Sen i have the same problem and i found what it was.. if i pull my turn signal , my break light works but if i push on it , the break light goes off
@@SALVADORMAR2 what do you mean, I have a 2002 trailblazer with no taillights at all, the brake lights worked Sunday until my brother-in-law replaced some fuses, now they don't work at all. We tested the connector there's power to them, the signals work the reverse lights work it's just the tail lights and brake lights, well one tail light works, well one tail light works on right side
Hello , I need help , I fix my own stuff but this has me beat , 98 Mitsubishi pajero / montero lwb gls , I have no top brake light and no rear wiper , i have turn signals , bottom brake lights work , I have tested the bulbs and the cluster and fuses , I hit a huge pot hole smelled some plastic burn, lost my alternator the
A/T light battery light came on was down to 9v I replaced with new one thats all good but I can't find why brake and rear wiper won't work , is there a relay or something obvious or secret im missing ? any ideas? Would massively appreciate any wisdom I'm not usually one to ask but I have to admit I can't work it out .
I have a 2001 GMC Jimmy and only the left tail light is not working, all others (ie brake, turn and backup). bulbs have been replaced and all fuses are good.
This problem isn't the same thing, but my toyota highlander (2003) had the bulb replaced and it didn't work and the fuse doesn't seem to have issues.
Check the socket if it has one, it might be that, or it could be the wiring.
I closed my trunk and the running tail light cut off and wont turn back on what do you think happened?
BULB BROKE...OR GROUND LEFT EARTH...
I have one side problem and its not fuse as the bulb turns one but very very dim, almost not able to see (Rear back up, passenger side only). Checked all the fused. Changed the bulb. Same problem persist. Any idea as to what is my problem?
did you figure out the problem? i have a 99 4runner where the led is dim but halogen wont turn on.
@@isackhernandez3691 Assuming you fuse and bulbs fine, 1st make sure the problem is not with the LED (Especially the cheap internet-purchased ones). They can be very picky or have polarity issues or physical socket issues and or, no contact. If halogen alone is at fault, make sure the bolster is functioning (If possible check/change with the other side). Avoid home-installed halogen replacement for factory tungsten at any cost. Factory knew better and aftermarket is to empty your wallet only with no respect to anything else.
Last and most likely, it is a ground contact issue. Find the forum for your car-specific model and you may get access to a map. The easiest remedy is to find your negatives and drill in a new contact point, wiring it to the nearest chase's point yourself.
The main problem with old cars having some degree of sophistication and age is even when you successfully solve one problem, there will be more surprises down the road, sooner than later! Electrical issues can be very frustrating and finding the cause and remedy at times next to impossible.
Okay, so my Chevy Trailblazer has three rear bulbs on each of the two rear lights. The bottom bulb on each side is clear lens for reverse/back-up. The top two on each side are both red. They are both supposed to come on soft for tail lights and bright for braking. All work fine on the right side but all but the tail lights come on on the left side. If the bulb was bad the brake lights wouldn't work because it's the same bulb right? And even if it is a different filament that lights for tail lights vs. brake lights (even though both use the same two bulbs) most likely BOTH bulbs probably didn't happen to go out on the left side at the same time -- so is it the left tail light fuse? Or is there one fuse that controls both tail lights and since the right is working it can't be the fuse?
Currently have this issue with my blazer. What was the fix
@@kylercainfitness I resolved the issue shortly after posting but it was over a year ago and now I don't remember! sorry : (
@@SWLinPHX haha all good man. Figured my issue out.
@@kylercainfitness what was y’all’s issue
@@anti.nick555 I thought it was a wiring issue because sometimes it would work, and other times it wouldn't. Just a bad bulb. Takes 5 minutes to replace.
How about if I replaced the bulbs & the fuses are fine, but some of the lights still aren't working?
I have the same problem. Can anyone with adequate knowledge help, please.
Sounds like the engine is gone
and the car
That's my issue
Guil Franc that was just foul, you seem to have no knowledge on being anything besides a pest like seriously fuck off that’s disturbing
and if doing that...i still dont have tail lights...running lights or dash lights....i changed the fuses...but dont have a test er/multi meter or whatever that was you used? ...need help on tracking this dont due to very very limited budget...
I have a 2006 Malibu and the tail light wont stay on. The bulb is new and when I hit the brakes the light comes on, when I turn on the turn signal the light comes on, but it wont stay on when I have the lights on at night. I dont know what the problem could be.
I have an 02’ Malibu with a similar issue, left running light on the rear doesn’t work, I’ve replaced the bulb, entire assembly, connectors and yet nothing. Did you ever find a solution? Would be very helpful thank you.
@Bread Yes it was the part where the bulb that connects was burnt out. Had it replaced and it's working fine now.
@@Lancevance02 Glad to hear, I managed to get it back up and working. A prong on the taillight was slightly bent, after bending it back straight the running lights are working again. Appreciate the help regardless, thank you.
Replaced the fuses and it still doesn't work I have to check the grounds
For a 99 GMC Suburban; so what else can I check if the bulb is ok and the fuses are ok, but still no tail lights? The signals, break and emergency lights all work just fine, just no tail lights. Front head lights also work. Quite a puzzle!
did you ever find the solution I'm having the same problem
sorry about the late response - I took the suburban to a general mechanic that a friend recommended. He was able to find the problem, a burnt cable behind the dashboard (dash where your gauges are). The little cable was fried!

Check the headlight switch next... If OK, check for shorted or broken wires...
I have Honda Civic 1995 and my tail light and parking lights are not working if I put my foot on brake pedal the tail lights works but when I switch it on it don't work if someone has the solution please let me know in reply
Sorry I can't help, but I'm also having the same problem with my 2001 Honda civic.
@@abstractrain1246 I have fixed it che k your fuses what mine was actually
@@zafigamer7072 which fuse is it it's not listed for my accord 2001
Check user's manual it should be listed on that
Light switch
What if you know for sureþ
I replace the bulb, and the lights still dont come on, i then checked the fuse and its fine but still no light?
Ralph Orozco you need a new transmission .
Lol and my chevy Malibu 2013 its doing same thing wont turn on
Chuquita Buie you know how stupid you sound? Fuck outta here with your dumbass comments,✌️ you look dirty anyways
@@tokeablunt4658 they’re obviously joking idk how dumb you gotta be to miss that. Very ironic of you, how bout you listen to your name and toke a blunt to calm down
Only one brake light won't work idk wat to do
Here's my problem. I have a 1995 Chevy Silverado. My back lights work fine but at night. When I have to turn in my headlights. They don't. Only the front end works. Also on the note. My signal lights move fast when I brake. I changed my bulbs but still nothing.
-NANO756 - what kinda of shitty solution is that?
My fiance didn't turn the bulbs at all to get them out he just pulled and now the lights won't work what do we do
You don’t turn tail lights and headlights out typically you do just pull them out..but he probably blew a fuse and short the circuit
If only one light don't work it could stoll b a fuse there's a guse for each side
Sorry a fuse for both individually
So I have a 89 s10 pickup. The rear lighting harness runs along left side of truck. The right side operates fine. But left side the tail light won't light when brake pedal is pressed. The turn signal left doesn't work either. How do I tell the bulb light right now! I tested bulb it is good. Whoever created the ground system as well as egr system need to be tossed into prison!
I have the same problem with my 88 Ford Ranger
Don't change the bulb unless it's bad... don't be a 'parts changer'...
Please see multiple above comments and see if you can actually help a lot of people here. Please don't be a part troll.
That car to old
That grammar isn't good.
As long as it works & is maintained, NO car is "too old".
Hey he a space alien reject god created good aliens and bad or DNA
I did everything:
Replaced bulbs
Checked fuses
Checked wires
I have no fucking idea 😡
Did you replace the sockets and maybe even the pigtail!! Usually it’s the socket at the turn signal! It will take out the tail lights and side markers, as is why it’s very hard to figure it out since signal still works!! The socket controls the break lights they are wired together somehow
