None of the rear lights (brake, tail, etc) work on my 1993 Toyota Tercel. We replaced all the fuses and under the dash and under the hood, and the bulbs, what could be the problem?

If none of them work, there has to be a break in the wiring. I hate to say it, but start in the rear of the vehicle and work your way to the switch until you find where power is lost. Not a fun job, but that is what needs done.


Let me know what you find. Keep in mind, the switch (headlight) itself could be bad.
