    Hey guys! I’ve got a problem here. So I was driving the other night and my sister called me to let me know my taillights don’t stay on when driving. My brake lights are totally fine along with my turn signals but they do not stay illuminated when driving. It’s not a bulb issue because the brake and turn signals still work so I’m wondering if there’s a connection issue or something but do you guys have any help?EA683AF3-FF66-49F5-86D5-3069867CF803.jpg F29FD3F7-CEF3-4DD6-8BAF-C0BADF262663.jpg55F9AAB5-1B89-4853-8B7A-0608E470889B.jpg

    Check the TAIL fuse in the cab fuse panel.

    Also, the rear light assemblies have dual filament bulbs. One for turn the other for tail, one for stop the other for tail.

    Dumb question but have you actually turned the switch to full lights on the stalk?

    Exactly what I was thinking. You may not have the lights set to “auto”.

    And you verified the TAIL fuse?

    Super sorry for the late response! You were right!!!! It was the fuse, I went to AutoZone and bought a 7.5 fuse and took out the old one and replaced it. Once I turned the car on they were lit up :) I’m such an idiot that I even bought new set of aftermarket taillights thinking it would fix it, not complaining because I do have a new pair of sick taillights though
