The stop lamps are simple
a fuse , a switch, wires, and lamps
if you step on the brake and the voltage at the lamps is not 12v.
then the switch is bad, if there is 12v on one side and not 12v on the output side of the stop switch.
its very simple , flashlight simple wiring,

The wires that go to the outside reverse light or bed lights are on a little different circuit. Most likely somewhere between the door and the back of the inside of the cab there is a broken wire or bad connection. Start with getting a very good test light made just for this kind of issue. Check both sides of the fuse. If good move to the light it self. Remove the bulb and test the positive portion of the light socket. Look for broken wires here too. If the test light doesn't work first check to be sure you have a great ground. DO NOT TRUST the ground on the light fixture it self. Get a separate ground and check for power at the light. The best way to get power to this is to open a door AND turn on the switch to the bed light. If you do not get power - go back to the fuse box and find the wire that goes to the bed light. An easy way to know which wire you want to trace is to call the dealer with the Vin # and ask for a print out. Tell them what you're doing and they usually will help. Also check for any Recalls on your vehicle based on the Vin # as well.
I think this will get you up and going if you follow my instructions.

Best of it

you need to check if there is power in the brake light wires in the trunk. find the brake light bulb and use a automotive test light. have someone push the brake pedal or you can block the brake pedal down and see if there is power. The tester will have a sharp point one end and an alligator clip on a wire at the other end and a bulb in the middle between the two. if there is power when the brake pedal is applied the test light bulb will light then your bulbs and or sockets are bad. Be sure the bulb sockets are not corroded or rusty.
I can't tell you how many times I have seen it be simply the bulb. Either the wrong bulbs or installed incorrectly.
Otherwise try to find a repair manual (haynes repair manual any auto parts store about $20.00) for this vehicle and it will show you the entire circuit. Be sure the fuse is good and there also could be a relay, often found under the hood in an electrical box near the battery. sometimes there are identical relays on different circuits so you can switch them to see if that was the problem. before opening the electrical box you should consider removing the negative battery terminal making sure it cant contact metal/ground and re energize the system. I don't remove the terminal but you must be super careful not to short anything out when you un plug or re plug the relays. never use a metal tool to try and pry the relay from it's spot . pull gently and firmly straight out of its plug / usually up. The manual will tell you if there is a relay but also usually the electrical box lid, decal inside, will tell you what the relays do. good luck. be careful not to short anything out. That will cause even more problems like engine control brain damage and that's expensive.

Honda civic Cigar lighter not working hondA civic all fuses ok

If the cigarette lighter is the ONLY thing that is not working. Either the wires have been disconnected or the coil is broken. Test the socket with a multimeter. If you have voltage and this checks out, Chances are the lighter itself (the coil) is damaged and should be replaced. If you have no voltage at the socket, the wires are likely corroded or broken somewhere and should be fixed/cleaned/soldered.

I have a 2004 Nissan Maxima with hid headlights an the bulb is blown an i have replaced the bulb an it still doesn't work, i checked the fuse box inside an outside, is their any other fuses i can...

It sounds like you have wire problem. This problem can be manny problems from a short due to exposed wire or it is broken somewhere... ect. if it is not the wire check further back the line to see if the buse is recieving power. Or it could be as simple as the plug you put the bulb in has a broken contact tip

My 1990 f150 has no brake light ,turn signal or tag light on the left (drivers) side. I have replaced the brake switch and the fuse. Does this side need to rewired? Is it possible the wire is broken...

use a multimeter to check wires. you should get a voltage reading if your wires are good. check fuses. disconnect trailer harness and try checking wires from that point . if you have voltage you may want to check the wiring of the trailer harness to be certain it is correct. you may also want to check your ground to that side. if fuses are blown you have a short

I have a 1996 Saturn SL and the automatic door locks have stopped working. I checked the fuses and they are ok. What could be causing this problem?

If you changed the battery recently, it could be a security "feature". I know it sounds strange, but some cars do things like that because the engineers couldn't figure out how to fix it. I would look for a broken wire somewhere. Try looking at the wires where they enter your driver door.

Is there a hidden 'inline' fuse on a 04/6 cy

There are seperate "trailer" fuses in the fuse box in the engine compartment. Separate fuses for trailer left, right and running lights.

Check all fuses, I had the same issue before.

Good luck.

Front driving lights on rear not but bulbs ok & fuses

Hey Mozza!
If you know the bulbs and fuses are ok there's only one explanation left: A short/broken wire somewhere. Look for a wiring diagram for you car here: http://www.volvoclub.org.uk/volvo_workshop-850techdocs.shtml

After that it's just a matter of pulling out the multimeter and start measuring!
Good luck!
