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 .
When I turn on the head lights, there are no red lights lit on the rear of the vehicle. If I step on the brake, the left and right brake lights come on. The center one does not. If I turn on the turn signal, I get the associated amber light in the back (no red light). I was trying to find a wiring schematic but was not successful. Ideas??? Thanks for the reply.
The parking lights do not work either.
visit http://www.autozone.com and enter your vehicle info. Then select repair guides and then wiring diagrams. I just checked to be sure..Your tail light wiring diagram is there. Free to print and download.
The tail fuse is blown again. I looked for the tail relay. I could not find it. Any ideas for location?
If the fuse is blown, there is a short in the parking/tail light wiring somewhere. If you can get the lights to work with a new fuse, then while the lights are on, try a wire jiggle test by jiggling the wire harness at each light to see if you can make the fuse blow. Whe it does, you have located the area you must look closley at to find the shorted wire. If the fuse blows as soon as you turn the headlight switch on, it will be harder to locate. The first thing that must be done is to isolate the short to either the front of the car or the rear of the car by locating and disconnecting the rear tail light connector and seeing if the fuse still blows...If it does, the short is in the front lights. If it doesn't blow, the short is in the rear lights. The connector should be behind the drivers kick panel. You will need to look up the connector itself in a service manual or in a wiring diagram with connector locations related to the tail light/parking lamp circuit.
How do I find a manual that is that detailed? I was going to try disconnecting the tail relay. I fund that on line as a possible problem. I am going purchase a box of fuses and try disconnecting all the lights on this circuit. I wish I knew where the connector is that you mentioned. I did not find it yet. That would definitely help with the troubkeshooting. Yes - the fuse blows when I turn on the lights. Any advice on finding the connector you referenced? Thank you for your patience and guidance.
DID YOU HAVE A AFTERMARKET RADIO INSTALLED IN THE VIBE WHE YOU WERE HAVING THIS PROBLEM?
This was my problem! I had an exposed ground wire in my aftermarket stereo.
I also noticed that my buzzer was not on when leaving headlights on after shutting the car off. but this fixed that also!
What was the fix? I removed the radio. What is burned or shorted? The rear lights still do not work. Harold
