The tail lights on my 2006 dodge grand caravan don't work. Yet all the other lights do. I have replaced the light switch on dash but it did not fix the problem. Any ideas what could be wrong?

I have replaced the lights switch and the tail lights bulbs.

Get the wiring standard for trailer socket on car / caravan .
Something like this

Then get a 12v probe and test the voltage is coming out the correct pins on the car when the tail lights are turned on.

Check the Earth Connections on the caravans tail lights.
Check the Caravan has an earth connection to the car body.

see how pin 3 shows an earth wire it would have a wire on car socket pin 3 going to the car body. If the earth wire is corroded or broken I think the tail lights on the caravan would not work. It may be a different pin on your setup .

2006 dodge caravan se single light and brake work but not the tail light?

First make sure that the bulbs are not burnt out. Then are the tail lights not working or the rear brake lights? Tail lights are on a different circuit than the brakes. Check for bad fuses or the multifunction switch in the steering column. Do the 4 way flashers work? If so then the bulbs and wiring are good. If still no brake lights, then check the brake light switch under the dash above the brake pedal.

2006 Dodge Grand Caravan All 3 brake lights don't work. Replaced burnt out high center bulb, checked fuse under hood, replaced Stop Light Switch.

Is there power to the stop light switch? You never say any electrical testing was done. Use a 12 volt test light to check this. You can buy one for about $5 from auto parts store.

The tail lights on my 2006 dodge grand caravan don't work. Any ideas as what could be wrong?

Check that the fuse is not blown and that there is no wiring fault. Otherwise check that the lights are not blown as well, and look at the following YT video to illustrate the removal of the light:

On my 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan the brake lights and back turn signals work fine. I changed the bulbs no luck. Any ideas

Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome. Try checking your signal fuse and tail lamp fuse for the brake lights. They may have blown. If they are good, for the brake lights, you could have a bad brake switch, which is located right above your brake pedal. As for the turn signals, you could have a bad wire somewhere in the harness. Check closely at the bulb sockets. It is possible that you could have a loose wire at the signal switch or a bad wire.
