Check the wiring and ground. If nothing there is wrong, check the connectors on the actual lights and the light bulbs themselves. That's all that I can think of that could be wrong.

05 trailblazer night time running tailight won't turn on

It might be the same bulb, but it is a separate circuit in the bulb socket. The brake and turn signals are on the same circuit and the tail lights are a separate circuit. A simple 12v test light can make tracing your problem simple. If you can unplug your circuit board and probe the harness that goes to it. Verify that you have there is power to the board for each function, if not, you have an issue in your harness and need to look further up, like at the split for left right and trailer plug.

I have changed the fuse and Brake switch and bulbs appear good, whats next? 2005 Chevy Colorado no Brake lights at rear. Brake light on cab works

Check battery voltage and ground at the tail lamp assembly . lite blue wire is battery voltage & black is ground . Does your vehicle have a trailer connection ? Check for corrosion in connection. , corroded ground - g105 splice pack G105
Ground splice pack in the engine compartment - left side inner fender near EBCM

Stop Lamps
The STOP fuse in the underhood fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to the normally open stop lamp switch. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the switch contacts close and battery positive voltage is supplied to the stop lamps and center high mounted stop lamp (CHMSL) which are grounded at G105.

05 Chevy Colorado driver side rear driving light doesn't come on. Blinker & Brake lights work.

I have a 2006 Silverado that rear lamps have recently quit working. A turn lamp and backup lamp on opposing sides.

One was from loose socket contacts and the other was oxidation of lamp contacts. You can bend socket contacts closer to make them tighter and clean bulb contacts. It's been several weeks now and all is fine.

I have a suzuki xl7 2005 model my brake lights are not working I've checked fuses and also the third brake light, fuses are good but it looks as though the bulbs on the third light are blown whatcould

all brake lamps are dead.
and fuses are good. (did you check the right ones, or all?)
what about 3rd lamp?
if they look blown they are, why question that for $1 lamp.
replace lamps that are blown, the filament goes byebye.
fuse #9 is STOP, replace this on suspission
fuse that look ok, can have hair line cracks, we test them with a meter. so as not to guess...
next is this power 12vdc from stop fuse goes to the
stop switch and if stopping (foot brake) the output goes to 12vdc and all lamps on rear (stop)glow.
its cave man simple (unlike new cars that computers do all that)
now my advice, replace all 3 lamps
or take them out 1 by 1 and try them 1 by 1.
because lamps can SHORT and blow that fuse.
all there can be hand for $3,... and a new fuse for 50 cents.

2009 ford escape turn signals and brake lights work but no taillights checked bulbs look good no where in owners mannual does it list tailight fuse or location

I think your problem locating the fuse may be because Ford refers to the lights you are describing as "PARK" lamps, instead of "TAIL" lamps. The PARK fuse is Fuse #22 (15 Amp) located in the Smart Junction Box (SJB) in the center of the dash.

HINT: This same fuse also protects the circuits your front park lamps, if they are working, the fuse is not blown.

2005 Chevy Colorado edit

If you put the tail gate down, there is 2 screw (phillips) that holds the tail light in place. Remove them & you can twist the bulb out. Thats it, put back together in reverse. Hope this helps.
