Reverse Lights I just replaced the left tail light on my 2004 Nissan Sentra 1.8 and now the reverse lights is not working on both sides..

All parking lights are on the same circuit. If there is no voltage at the bulb socket, trace the wires. Either the ground or park light wire is broken.

sounds like you have a bad ground wire or the wire going to the sides is broken. you may have to check the connections till you find where the wires are connected. if you can test the two side lights with a battery to confirm they do work and are not bad bulbs. or switch them with working light bulbs to confirm they work. then if they work they you need to start looking for a section of wire that may be broken or is corroded and will need to reconnected to make work again.

sounds like a bad ground or a break in the wire harness

on older nissans dashoard and tail light is on same fuse. can you please check fuses on drivers side under your steering wheel? check #16.

Hi,
Just open the trunk lid and snap the plastic cover at the back of your tail light assembly and the bulb socket assembly will come off. Push and twist the bulb to be replace. Same reverse way when putting it back.
Hope that helps you out.
