Hi, I have a 2001 Buick regal and I don't have any running lights brake lights reverse lights and the electric trunk latch does not work on the trunk lid. I have checked all fuzes. Some times at night once you shut the car off and wait for the lights to turn off the trunk latch will work. I also checked the wiring on the trunk lid also and it all seems to be fine. Any suggestions? Ever heard of this problem?

could be a bad connection but you need an electrical shop that can trace down the failure.

I have already chased down the wires, and tested all wires with a test light, wire seem to stop flow at Back seat. I see nothing wrong with the wires. Also forgot to add that the rear passenger side window stopped working. So is that all this site is about, take it to a shop cause No one knows? Lmao why have a site then. That's all I see on other responses also is take it to a shop lol

we are here, not there. we can give you ideas and you have found an issue at the back seat and need to continue with that check.

we go on your information only and our best guess. we do not know your abilities or knowledge. guessing is expensive and in most cases wrong.

sorry if we can not pull a rabbitt out of our hats. just trying to lead you in a direction.
