When I turn on my headlight my tail lights do not come on but I do have break lights and turn lights. I have checked the fuse box under the dash but I don't see a Fuse for tail lights can anyone help?

Check no.2 on the fuse block see below, if its okay do a voltage check on the brown wire at the taillight socket no power there, its coming from the headlight switch.

There's nothing in between the switch and the taillight to prevent it from coming On such as relay etc.

Hello, as far as the tail lites, I'd check voltage feed to the headlite switch, Also check fuse 4--15amp, check that the fuse circuit is hot. The brown wire at the switch carries voltage to the tail lites, check that wire for voltage, with the switch activated.
