99 Silverado instrument lights & tail lights out

SOURCE: Tail lights don't work on 1998 Chevy Silverado.

check the wiring from the tailights back to the fuse panel, it sounds like an open connection. if i recall correctly check under the dash on the drivers side near the fuse panel for a bunch of wires in a bundle and look carefully for a wire or two that are cut/shorted/or seperated, you can also check under the drivers side kick panel by the hood release.

You have a short in the wiring somewhere. have you tried to pull the connectors off the tail light assemblies? pull both then connect them 1 at a time to see which side is causing the problem, could be as simple as a bulb that has shorted it self out.

Check for a complete ground small strap near radio

SOURCE: 98 chevy silverado:

There is a short in the electrical circuit that is protected by the fuse. If this fuse protects the tail lamps then there is s short in the wireing from the fuse to the tail lamps, the insulation on the wires could be could be broken and shorting againt the bodywork.
If you cannot find the fault, the quickest solution is to rewire the faulty circuit and bypass the faulty wiring.
If you cannot DIY then you need an auto electrican to find the fault and fix the problem.
