Check to see if the light sockets have a good ground. If you don't know you can always clip into the ground wire with a jumper wire and ground it inside the trunk area somewhere with a metal screw. The area must be clean of rust and paint to get a good ground.

Toyota tail lights not work

It could be a bad switch. if the blinkers dont work then it could be a bad multifunction switch or flasher relay. If the brake lights dont work it could be a bad break switch (located under the dash above the brake pedal). If its just the running lights could possible be the wrong kind of bulb. If nothing works at all it may be due to bad light sockets.

Break lights and blinkers not working

If you put the tester on the outlets and it lights up properly but the bulbs dont, you have already concluded that the wiring isn't the problem. unless of course the wires are corroded and simply putting the bulb in shorts it out. Have you tested the bulbs?

96 contour. left tail light, 1 and 2nd break light are out.

Everything works, more or less, so you know that the switches and fuses are good. That means that you've got either bulb problems or power/ground problems. First, try swapping the bulbs around to see if the "bad" lights will work with the known "good" bulbs in them. If so, you just need to replace some bulbs. If not, check the sockets inside and out for corrosion, clean them (wire brush, steel wool, sandpaper, etc.) if necessary, and use a voltmeter or automotive tester to make sure that you have power and ground to each socket. The fast flash on the turn signal is just an indicator that a bulb is out.

Break lights dont work.i changed the break stop lamp switch,fuses,and bulbs. What else could it be?

Have you taken a voltage meter and actually taken a reading at the brake light bulb socket to see if you have voltage ?
If no voltage, then you may have a short or a break in the wiring.

My left break and blinker light don't turn on. I have a 2003 dodge neon. can this be a fuse and if it is which one is it?

If the left front light works,then you don't need a fuse you need a bulb for the left rear light.

Right read blinker/break light dont work, turn signal blinks rapidly

It's the bulb. There are two filliments in the bulb. One is for when you turn your lights on and the other is for breaking and blinker flashing. When the break filliment goes bad it causes the blinker to flash very rapidly. 100% the bulb. Change it and all will be good again. P.S. if it were a fuse none of the break lights or blinkers would work.

I have a 2005 300 model. I noticed that the blinker was going fast notifying of a burnt out rear light blinker bulb. I have replaced the burnt out bulb but the right blinker still goes very fast and the...

Using a test light check to see if there is power to the wire at the plug where the bulb is for the blinker. if so the socket is bad. if not check to see if the light assembly is working for ex. the parking lights or the brake light ect If those lights dont work then check the fuse for the right rear tail light. Hope this helps.

No dash lights and no tail lights

Check for faulty wires at the fuse block, had one fall off from the block itself from the rear, or it could be a wire break somewhere along the way.

Stop Lights and Blinkers are independant fuse.

Tail lights are on there own fuse and could be a wire break in the rear or removing the bulb and using a metre check for signal at bulb socket where trouble is, Check for disolored connections, Green in color or simular, could be a bad connection which in turn is not letting the curent to other side, Causing a short and loss of power to all remaining lights in curcuit.
