My tail lights won't work on my f250. I changes bulbs, checked every fuse i can find and climbed under the truck and checked the wiring and everything looks in tack. the brake, and turn signals work (same bulb) and when i hook up my trailerall the lights work including the tail lights. Anyone have any idea where to begin from this point?

Might be a bad ground for the lights. When you plug a trailer in you are adding another good ground to the system
