Did you check the fuse for the parking-tail lights ?
I would check that and for power at the headlight switch.

SOURCE: tail lights on 2004 nissan maxima out.

hey i just fixed mine with the same exact problem, look, all you have to do is open your 3rd fuse box which is next to your washing fluid on the passenger´s side under the hood, for that you need to remove the cover wich is pretty easy (5 staples all you need is a thin flat screw driver to lift the center of the staple and then the whole staple) then you take off the cover and then you open the fuse cover, you are looking for the TAILLIGHT fuse wich is the first on the upper row from right to left if you are standing on the passenger side looking towards the drivers side (you can also look for that fuse in the fuse box cover diagram) remembre is a 15A fuse, replace it, jaja and thats how you save some dollars. saludos desde guadalajara mexico.

You may be better off checking at dealer, or autoparts store for an adapter harness that goes inline. They simply plug into the harness ahead of all your tailights etc, and make it easier. At most, you may end up having to run a separate wire for brake control.

Had a similar problem and fixed it by installing a new headlight switch / turn signal lever. Hope this helps.

If its just the lights, then probably the headlight switch. If radio problem is related then possibly a bad ignition switch.

My tail lights don't work but brake lights do, what's the problem?

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

I have an 85 Mercury Grand Marquis and I have no tail, brake of back up lights or rear directional. When I turn on the headlight switch, I get 12 volts at the tail / Brake light (1157) at all three wires....

You may have a defective turn signal switch, all these circuits run through the switch and on occasion I have repaired a Ford or Two with this same symptom when I was working for a dealer in the middle 80's.

2000 Nissan Maxima. Headlights work but tail lights won't come on. How do you fix the wiring of this?I have changed the bulbs and nothing. The brake, reverse, and turn signal lights work, so the bulbs...

tail lights work on a different filament than the rest of the lights you mentioned, it is possible both bulbs are burned out for that filament. if not, check the fuses as the tail light circuit in some cars is on a seperate fuse. the remaining possibility could be bad socket contacts.
