Tail lights and rear turn signals in 1996 F Bronco stopped working:

My 1996 Ford Bronco worked fine until the alternator decided to stop working. Got that replaced, along with a new serpentine belt, and battery. Now the problem is with the tail lights and rear turn signals. Both will not work, but the lights all around do. I have working headlights, tail lights, and front turn signals. But no tail lights or rear turn signals. I have checked the bulbs and they look fine, there is a current going to the rear of the vehicle as well. How am I to fix this?

Sounds like you lost the ground to the rear lights.

SOURCE: Tail light problems

Probably because it blows immediately because the short is now a dead short. The hot wire is completely against the ground not just rubbing. Has the car been hit in the back at any time? Look underneath and see if any wires are hanging down.around the tail light area. Your looking for a wire that is rubbing against metal . Could be inside the trunk behind the covers .

No. All those lights are on the same fuse and are controlled by the headlamp switch.

Make sure that the fuses were all checked on the fuse panel inside the vehicle under the dash. That is where the fuse for those lights is.

I have 89 bronco 2 my brake lights turn signals both work my tail lights don't work have check fuse n blubs what might be the problem

The turn signals and brake lights use the same circuit and filament in the bulbs. The tail lights are on the other circuit which comes from the headlight switch.
Do you have power on the tail light fuse ?

Tail light doesnt turn on with headlights but works fine as a break light and turn signal, why?

in the rear lights you may have two bulbs one is the turn signal the other one is stop light / tail light the stop light / tail light has two filaments, one for the stop light (21 watt) & one for the tail light (5 watt) it is possible that the tail light filament is blown, try replacing the bulb to see if that fixes the problem,also check all the fuses as well.......hope this helps......cheers.

The brake light and the turn signal are the same bulb. Most of the time if the bulb on the dash stays on it is because a bulb is blown and thats the way it tells you.
