Hello,
I noticed the other night that, while my headlights were on, my tail lights were not. However, the brake lights and turn signals were working. The left turn signal was a bit slow, but that's not been unusual.
I tore into it today looking for an obvious answer. I checked the bulbs by switching in new ones, but there was no change. I checked the nuts that held the lights onto the body, and they were a bit loose. I cleaned the grounding areas and refastened everything, but they didn't work. I went on to the rear sidemarkers and did the same thing, but there was no change. I then noticed a loose wire on the right tail light and fixed it, but there was no change. I also cleaned the ground points around the rear sidemarkers again.
This also lead to me cleaning that large grounding place behind the license plate bracket. It needed it, and now the car seems to run better, but the tail lights still don't work.
This has happened before, and I can't remember what I did to cure it. The rear harness isn't but about three years old. I'm thinking this could be an under the hood problem. Any answers as to why my brake lights and turn signals would work, but not the tail lights, nor the sidemarkers, nor the license plate lights would be most appreciated.
Thank you,
