I just bougth this 1995 isuzu rodeo I don't know how to open the tail gate the tire moves but the tail will not open

Check the wiring coming through the tail gate, the wiring breaks and grounds out , check wiring, some wiring you can see if you open the door and look for the rubber boot containing wiring, check all wires, you will find bad broken wires, caution have checked could cause lights to go out and not work or cause a electrical fire.

First thing to do is to check out the fuse for them. If you have your owner guide it will tell you we're and which one it is. If it the fuse and you replace it and it does it again you might have a short in the wiring

I don't understand what you mean by starting in drive instead of first. It should not start in any gear other than park and neutral.
as for the lights , you may have blown a fues or have a dead short from the trailer pigtail you used for pulling the boat.

Don't worry I'm sure you will get the solution of your problem, just check the link I attached

Check each tire's sidewall for the Recommended Maximum Pressure, and don't exceed that amount.

Fold up the backseat.pull back the velcro underneath the seat and you should have your tire iron

I have a isuzu rodeo, i dropped tail gate removed carpet, i then located fuel pump from under truck, i took a jig saw and cut an opening through deck fuel pump is located on top of tank, it sounds messy but you can save a lot of money and time, after replacing pump silicone piece back in

Remove the interior trim panel which will not be easy since the gate is up ---- you can then access the lock mechanism and will probably find a bent linkage rod or a broken plastic retainer clip.

hi cjryan 9876 when you look on the outside of the lens there are 2 philips head screws & if open your tail gate there are another 2 philips head screws in there as well one of which is located through the locking tab for the tailgate once you undo these the tail light should fall out & then to get the tail light out of the socket give it a quarter turn anti clock wise
