Does your Durango have trailer wiring installed, and if so, was it factory installed or installed aftermarket? If installed aftermarket, there's a really good chance your wiring issues are due to incorrect connectors being used to tap in to the factory wiring which has allowed water and other elements to corrode the wiring, causing an intermittent connection.

SOURCE: 2001 dodge neon tail lights inop

looking at your schematics and , you say tail lights don't work , you didn't mention if front parking lights and license plate lights are working , they all come from the same source , a black /yellow wire , a good clue if front work and rear don't , please advise .if fronts work then you have a open circuit somewhere between junction S118 (near breakout for left headlamp) and rear sockets.

SOURCE: Need fuse schematic

if the fuse was blown the stop lights on both sides would be inop, also if the stop light circuit were dead u would be unable to get the trans out of park, use a 12 volt test light and test the brake light switch at the top of the brake pedal, u can buy a test light from Autozone, kragen and others for about $5 US. If the system has power cjheck the bulb socket it may be defective, use the 12 volt test light while someone pushes the brake pedal. let me know what u find and i will give u further assistance as ness.

SOURCE: DASH AND TAIL LIGHS DONT WORK

Check and see if you have trailer wiring on your truck. If so you do it may have a wire that is rubbed though the isulation and grounding on the body and shorting the circuit blowing the fuse. High resistance in a circuit is what blows fuses.

Check for a bad socket assembly. Look for burnt retainers inside the socket.

SOURCE: Brake lights won't work in our 2001 Dodge Durango after changing

I assume you've checked the fuses and relays inside your car and the ones under your hood....

If you look above your brake pedal, you should see a switch connected to some wires. This is your brake light switch that controls your brake lights. It sounds like this may be faulty...If you find out that this switch is good.. then it could be your electronic flasher module, but not as likely

I am trying to figure out which fuse to change or is it a relay. Nothing in the owners manual or the under the hood fuse boxes is labeled clearly.

Andrae, If it is just the right rear signal not working, re check the bulb and wires to the socket, signal bulb should have 2 filaments. When you put emergency flasher on do both tail lights flash, .

Have 2001 durango no brake lights no turn signals but have tail lights. checked fuses,relays,bulbs, and replaced multi function switch

Find the fuse that relates to the brake lights and turn signals, then with a vault meter check both sides of the fuse for battery voltage and trace back from there.

Hello and welcome to FixYa!

Try to check the ground of the tail lights. It can be disconnected or worn out. It's a black colored wire that needs to be attached on the car's body. This can do the trick.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

I have a 2000 Dodge Durango I bought about 4 hours ago. The tail lights do not work but the brake light and turn signals do. Also the dash lights do not work. The dash lights came on when I hit the...

The odds are the one fuse is blown for the dash and the tail lights. And the wrong bulb may have been put in for the brake light. The brake light is feeding back into the tail light circuit causing the fuse to blown out.

Change out the bulbs with OEM bulbs and replace the blown fuse. That should fix the problem.

2003 dodge durango #4 fuse keeps blowing,

OK there is a short in your car
take all the light bulbs out of the light that trigger the problem this break the current place one bulb in at a time checking that the fuse has not blown this will pin point where the problem is
once you find the problem you can replace the socket as it may have started to corrode check for water
once you replace the socket you should not have a problem
if you do let me know
