Chack the break light switch which on my car is on the break tank. There should be 2 wires going to the switch. If you short them out and the lights work then replace break light switch.
It might be the earth connection to break lights. If there is an earth lead remove clean and replace.Then give the connection a coat of paint.

I have a 1993 chevy pick up. The break lights work but the tail lights do not.when i apply the breaks the break lights and the tag lights come on when i turn on the parking lights on the break lights no...

Could be a number of problems. First, check and make sure the bulbs are not blown, that is if the brake lights and tail lights are the same bulbs. If it's not that, check the fuses for the tail lights/driving lights. From there, it could be a problem with the switch or wiring.

Tail lights not working

It's the break switch under the break petal there should be two. The one that the break petal rest on it more than likely it it's maybe 10$-25$ to fix it

Tail light doesnt turn on with headlights but works fine as a break light and turn signal, why?

in the rear lights you may have two bulbs one is the turn signal the other one is stop light / tail light the stop light / tail light has two filaments, one for the stop light (21 watt) & one for the tail light (5 watt) it is possible that the tail light filament is blown, try replacing the bulb to see if that fixes the problem,also check all the fuses as well.......hope this helps......cheers.

All my lamp indicator lights keep flashing. blickers work. when you step on break the break lights work. but when driving no tail lights

First replace the tail light bulbs. The tail light and brake lights are different filaments in the same bulb. it is very possible for the tail lights to go out while brake lights still work. And somtimes the tail lights can blow out together.
If you change the bulbs and still dont work then look for other problems.

My tail lights dont work or break lights but when i depress the break pedle my cargo break light works...i drive a 02 GMC serrira....my hazards, turn signals, and back up lights work

It sounds like you have burnt out bulbs. All those other lights that you say work are all different bulbs. The tail light bulbs have dual filament so that they can perform the tail light and brake light function. You should change out your bulbs and that will probably solve your problem.

Tail break lights don't work. Window break light does work however. Bulbs have been replaced.

Check the brake light fuse. The high mounted brake light (third brake light) is on a different circuit than the brake lights. Hope this helps.

Break light problem

Do you know if the brake light bulbs are working? (are the bulbs good?). (the bulbs have two parts, one for brake lights the other for running lights)
If the third brake light bulb is working the brake lights should be with good light bulbs.
