Burned Out Bulbs: In the case where only one of your rear lights appears to be out, the cause is most likely a burned out bulb.

Q. Why does my tail light only works when braking?

Damaged or disrupted wiring can cause tail lights not to work, but brake lights are. The two lightings use different wiring as each bulb has got its power supply. So, the breaking lights might be working if their wires are not damaged. This problem occurs when you have severe or lose power cables.

Q. Why won’t my tail lights and dash lights work?

It could be that the dash and taillights share a common fuse. So, if you do find a blown fuse, you’ll need to track down the reason it blew in the first place. Other potential causes for your problem include a short somewhere in the circuit or a faulty light switch.

Q. Do I need an electrician to replace a fuse?

According to The Spruce, it’s possible your fuse is short circuiting due to loose wire connections, damaged wires or an internal wiring problem. You can continue to fix broken fuses, but when the root of the problem is deeper in your electrical wiring, it’s best to call in a professional electrician.
