Click on the link.
Did you check the park fuses, note the diagram, rr and lr. Use a test light to check voltage at fuse circuit, headlamp switch on. That should tell us if problem is before the fuse or after.
You always want to check voltage and ground circuits, for lamps. Do the front park lamps work?

Then you need someone who can,like a repair shop

These will help.

Thanks.

It can be faulty tail light bulb or its issue with tail light control switch or its wiring's are short.

Check the voltage at fuse slot of tail light.Do you receive 12 volt there.If not,then it says tail light switch is not receiving power supply.

IF THEY ARENT WORKING WHEN LIGHTS ARE ON SOUNDS LIKE DEAD SHORT. OR ELSE ITS IN THE SWITCH

This will either be a fuse or the brake light switch which is on the pedal it's self. More likely the switch as these are fickle at best.

Sounds like a blown fuse or a ground wire broke.

Check the grounds on your wiring.
If you have a trailer harness, make sure there are no shorts, or crusty connections

Good Luck chasing the gremlins

test and replace the brake light switch, it is located at the top of the arm the brake pedal is attached to.
