2004 Nissan Maxima: my rear lights not working.

I think the headlight switch is the most likely problem here.

dashboard lights are brighter when lights are off so you can see stuff in the daylight-check and make sure you have the correct bulb and its plugged in correctly-something is confusing the cpu-a blown fuse usually means something is shorted out-check for cut or bare wires around your tailamps-cheers Denny

there must be a short in the wire for your tail lights.

Fuse would be the logical first place to look.

Did u check the ground wire for the tail light?

you have a short in wire

Check the fuses under the hood, I have had the same problem.

Your brake lights and tail lights will have a seperate fuse

I had the same problem with my 04 maxima if you check under the plastic by your windshield wiper fluid you will find another fuse box and there you will find the fuse for the back tail lights

how do i remove my tail light assembly out of my 2005 nissan maxima
