on the brake peddle there is a switch when you press the brake peddle..check to see if after you press the peddle it should activate..it could be stuck or out of place...you may need to get a new one..
the blinker you will have to purchase a blinker relay...ask any part store for it...

SOURCE: Dash lights and taillights out fuses all ok

In battery junction box or the under hood fuse panel check fuse no 11(15amp),it will be at the center of the fuse box where there is 4 fuse slots but looks like only 3 fuses, if this fuse in good then you will see a relay that is shaped kinda like a cross.This is the parklamp relay which also powers the dash lights.

SOURCE: 2009 ford escape turn signals and brake lights work but no taillights checked bulbs look good no where in owners mannual does it list tailight fuse or location

I think your problem locating the fuse may be because Ford refers to the lights you are describing as "PARK" lamps, instead of "TAIL" lamps. The PARK fuse is Fuse #22 (15 Amp) located in the Smart Junction Box (SJB) in the center of the dash.

HINT: This same fuse also protects the circuits your front park lamps, if they are working, the fuse is not blown.

2004 Trailblazer lower taillights not working upper work fine.

Tony, our TB's only have 3 bulbs, 1 brake, 1 running, 1 backup.
If you happened to be playing with NEW LED bulbs (from local retail location) for the brakes, guaranteed you blew the fuse under the rear seat. It takes a special CK socket for the brakes that no one carry's. If you're only dealing with normal incondecent bulbs, I'd still check the fuse under the rear passenger seat.

Headlights work but not taillights what is the cause and how do i fix it?

First you need to determine if all lights in the back are out or just brakes lights or tail lights. Check fuses, taillights will have their own fuses. Could be a bad dash switch, which would be evident if brake lights work but not taillights.

What would be wrong if all lights work but break lights and fuse are good and bulbs are good why do i not have break lights

Brake light Switch near the brake pedal shaft is out of adjustment, or broken or wire disconnected or very bad connection. Otherwise a bad connection to the taillight assembly or a break in the wire between the switch and Taillight. Jumper the switch to test whether that is the problem. Test the Tail light by jumper from known good power to test whether it's the wire from brake light switch to the Tail light assembly.

Brake lights don't work but taillights do

This can be one of several things. First thing I would check is to make sure you don't have a blown fuse for the brake lights. They may not be on the same fuse as the taillights. If no blow fuse then check the switch that touches the metal bar on your brake pedal. This switch closes when you apply the brake. Use an volt meter to make sure the switch is shorted when you apply the brake. If both of these things are ok then you will probably have to take it to a dealer.

My 2003 Pontiac Vibe tail lights do not work. The brake lights work. I checked the tail fuse. Turn signals work also. Why no tail lights?

Your turn signal lights and brake lights are the same lights . Question : do the front parking lights work ? The front and rear running lights or parking lights are all on the same circuit and fuse . If the front lights work , and the rear lights don't , make sure the bulbs are good first . If OK , I would suspect the problem is either a bad ground in the rear taillight wiring harness or a bad connection in the rear taillight connector Itself .

Taillights and signals work but no brake lights?

Check the brake light switch. It should be energized when the switch is depressed. (constant power in and power out only when pedal is pressed) Taillights and signals power through the steering column and light switch. BUT first check the fuses. I seem to remember there being a fuse for the truck brake lights and another for the trailer brake lights. Use a tester and check trailer wiring brake lights. If they work, look for the truck brake light fuse.
