What should I do if my tail lights are not working?

I found the thimble switch on the steering column to be sticky/ dirty. They are little fingers/ platinum points that needed to be cleaned with some fine sandpaper. Also bending the fingers will also help to give better contact for the lights. There are 3 fingers and the middle one is for the park & tail lights. Hope this helps resolve your problem.

Why are the tail lights not working on my Camry?

My 03 camry had the same issue. No gauge lights, tail lamps, and no parking lights. The tail lamp relay is on the back of the fuse box ( middle one on the outside,) but that wasn’t the problem. Under the hood I swapped the horn relay with the ECU relay and it fixed the problem. Those relays are side by side and they’re all the same.

Why are the tail lights on my maxima not working?

My 2007 Matrix tail light would not work. Fuse was okay and bulbs were new.

I have a 1992 Nissan maxima my tail lights don’t work, I checked the fuses and the bulbs are good.
