you mean the tail lights not coming on or brake light not coming on when braking? could have bad bulbs in both or fuse is blown.

You know when you already have your light on and you press on the breaks the back lights are suppose to get brighter? Mine don't.

check wiring at both of the tail light assemblies, also check at headlight switch on dash, seems like ground wire may be loose or damaged.
