1st check the fuse box. The corresponding fuse for that set of lights could be blown. If so, replace it with one of the same voltage.

If its not blown, next check all the light bulbs and terminals to their sockets. (With the light swithed off...checking solder or crimp connectors for breaks or corrosion)

If these are good, it might be a short in the wires to the lights. That is best fixed by a mechanic.

SOURCE: brake light, 2008 Nissan Sentra

Open the trunk and locate the trim door that covers the back of the drivers side tail light assembly. Open the door and locate the bulb holder. The bulb holder can be removed from the tail light assembly housing by turning counter clockwise 1/4 turn. Holding the bulb holder in one hand, press gently on the bulb and turn then bulb counter clockwise to remove. Replace with a combo bulb and reverse proceedure to re-install.

SOURCE: wiring schematic for tail lights

Hello.
This sounds like you have a bad ground on your Dakota. Trace the wires back until you see that one of the wires is connected to the body or frame with a small screw or small bolt. Make sure that your have a good clean ground to work with.
Another thing that you can check for is to see if there is another light out somewhere else on the truck. Its like christmas lights, when one bulb goes, it can effect all the others just as well. The only other option is to check your fuses, get the fuse diagram and see what controls the taillights. On my truck I have the wrong fuse in there cause only the taillights to work and not the brake lights. Vehicles are very picky with there fuses. If the correct fuse is in there, make sure that the fuse isnt burnt out. You can check that by seeing if the filament in there looks burn or is broken like it popped. Hope this helps!

SOURCE: tail light wiring connectors and wiring diagram

A test light checking each connector would be faster and easier to do. Maybe somebody may have a illustration for you but by far a simple test light is all you need with a helper turning on the different lights as you check them out and writing all your findings down

SOURCE: rear tail lights not working

If both tail lights are not working it is likely to be a fuse or bad connection under the hood or a connector at the back see if you can trace the wires to a connector and see if it is dirlty or corroded.

On my 2010 crown vic I have headlights but no tail lights. I do have brake lights and turn signals.

If your 2010 Crown Victoria has functioning headlights, brake lights, and turn signals but no tail lights, the issue could be with the tail light circuit or with a specific component in the tail light assembly.
Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
  • Check the tail light fuses. Make sure that the tail light fuses are not blown. Check the vehicle's owner manual for the location of the fuses.
  • Check the tail light bulbs. Make sure that the tail light bulbs are working properly, if not replace them.
  • Check the wiring. Make sure that the wiring for the tail lights is connected properly and that there are no frayed wires or broken connections.
  • Check the brake light switch. The brake light switch is responsible for turning on the brake lights when the brake pedal is depressed. Make sure the brake light switch is working properly.
  • Check the turn signal switch. Make sure the turn signal switch is working properly, and properly wired to the tail lights.
If the problem persist after trying the above solutions, It would be best to consult a professional mechanic or an auto electrical technician to diagnose the issue, as it could be a malfunction in one of the electronic module that control the lighting. It's a good idea to take the vehicle to a dealership or repair shop that specializes in Ford vehicles. They will have access to the wiring diagrams and repair information needed to correctly diagnose and repair the issue with the tail lights.

1997 wrangler fast blinkers both sides front only, nothing in rear but tail lights. Additionally no brake lights. high beam only on headlights. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Maybe a problem with multifunction switch?
Do the hazard lites work?
Does the high-mount brake lite work? The reason I asked, the high-mount brake lamp and lower brake lamps are wire differently. The lower brake lites are wiring through the turn signal switch.

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 .

Brake light switch, located on upper brake pedal should be checked, that is most likely your brake light issue, but U say tail lights aren't working, but running lights do, tail lights and running lights I would consider to be the same, so can u clarify that for me? Let me know how the u do w/ brake light switch, and if u have issue w/ tail lights?

Brake pedal switch

Yes. Because the switch use a individual wire to the 3rd light.
To separete from the rear. because the rear lights, use the same bulb to signal and brake light.
