Has the truck been fitted with a trailer electrical connection? If so, investigate the connections where the trailer cable was spliced into the light connections.

SOURCE: check fuse replace brake light switch, and still

first check the fuse for the stop light circuit, if it's good, check your bulbs, it's possible they are all burned out! take one of them out, swap in a new one, and see if it lights. If not, get a wiring diagram and start checking for your powers and grounds. Take a look at the stop light switch on the brake pedal. If it's no good, there is a good chance that your cruise control may not work properly either. Good luck.

On my 2010 crown vic I have headlights but no tail lights. I do have brake lights and turn signals.

If your 2010 Crown Victoria has functioning headlights, brake lights, and turn signals but no tail lights, the issue could be with the tail light circuit or with a specific component in the tail light assembly.
Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
  • Check the tail light fuses. Make sure that the tail light fuses are not blown. Check the vehicle's owner manual for the location of the fuses.
  • Check the tail light bulbs. Make sure that the tail light bulbs are working properly, if not replace them.
  • Check the wiring. Make sure that the wiring for the tail lights is connected properly and that there are no frayed wires or broken connections.
  • Check the brake light switch. The brake light switch is responsible for turning on the brake lights when the brake pedal is depressed. Make sure the brake light switch is working properly.
  • Check the turn signal switch. Make sure the turn signal switch is working properly, and properly wired to the tail lights.
If the problem persist after trying the above solutions, It would be best to consult a professional mechanic or an auto electrical technician to diagnose the issue, as it could be a malfunction in one of the electronic module that control the lighting. It's a good idea to take the vehicle to a dealership or repair shop that specializes in Ford vehicles. They will have access to the wiring diagrams and repair information needed to correctly diagnose and repair the issue with the tail lights.

The brake lights wont work. The brake light over

the break light wire on the lumina runs through the blinker switch or multifunction switch on the colum.. check there as well as at the tail light sockets. on the late 90s gm cars the sockets had a tendancy to rot away... use a test light at the brake light wire in the trunk and have a friend apply the break. if there is power then may have to get new tail lights. or replacement bulbs.

Right brake light out; tail light works fine

most rear tail lights and turn/stop lights are the same dual filiment bulb. it is possible for your tail light to work and your brake light not to and still have a bad bulb. I would check the bulb first, your brake light works on the left yes? this would mean that the fuse is fine
