My 1995 Chevy Tahoe LS has headlights, dashlights and brake lights, but my tail lights/running lights for night do not work? What could be the problem, a fuse, which one? Does this vehicle have a relay box control system? Could this be the problem?

Check the park lamps fuse. Also, use a voltage tester on the fuse circuit to check for voltage. It should be number 9 fuse--20amp.

Thank you for the suggestion, we thought all the fuses were checked. Had the jumper in from the cluster when I came across this mention. Checked the 9 fuse, and it was blown. Replaced and now the cluster lights, and tail lights are working. Thanks again!

Nice work, thanks for letting us know, here is the running light wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works. Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.
