My tail lights will not stay on. They keep going out.As a matter of fact, i don't think they come on at all now.

What lamps were you having a problem? So there is a lamp on your dash that says tail gate is open? There is usually a switch or sensor for that?
Maybe I misunderstood your problem?
If the tail gates lamps at the rear are staying on, no matter what you do, I'd have to check wiring diagrams for that lamp control.

tail is park, so turn off the parking lights ,.there are 20+ lamps
inside and out for park/tail/dim dash lamps.
do you mean stop lights stuck on, id bet so. (parks out)
so replace or adjust the brake lamp switch.

Check your fuses to make sure they are OK. Your turn signal is on a different circuit than the tail lights. I think.

yes ,
check the fuses.

Are you sure these are not the brake lights? I think they are. Go under the dash above the brake pedal and disconnect the brake light switch and see if the brake lights go off, if so replace the switch or adjust it.

prob. a bad inst. cluster ck. your fuses 1st. ! do you have tail lights?

its your running light fuse under driver dash board or on side of it

Bulbs have 2 filaments in them so that one bulb can do the same as two. One filament runs for brake and turn signals the other for the tail lights. You need a set of 1157 bulbs with the flat plastic ends. If new bulbs don't work you may have a wiring or switch problem, but they die at the same time a lot more than people think

remove all the lights front and rear and try it if the fuse blows its a wiring problem, then its a matter of tracing and checking , time consuming, if the fuse stays ok there is another draw on the circuit, start checking ground connections

Possibly that the brake light switch - it tells the lights to go on when you step on the brake - is bad and keeps that lights on all the time. Also bad if you'd be driving and drivers think you have the brake on all the time.
