On a 2008 pt cruiser tail lights and 2 lower brake lights are not working. The upper brake light is the only one coming on. All turn signals also still work. Tried to check the fuse but in the owners manual there is no fuse listed for these lights.

Hello,

There are 3 fuses that need to be checked # 3, 33 and 17 here is two guides that should help us get the problem fixed.

Attached are schematics of the exterior lights. Seems you have a fault with the TIPM or open in wiring circuit from it.

At TIPM check for battery voltage at terminal #8 (White/Violet wire)with tail lights turned on. If voltage is available, check for open in wiring between TIPM and tail lights.

Here are some tail light wiring diagram and fuse panel locations that can help us with the testing (below)

Please let us know what you find.

Cheers, Ken
