Hi janolean912,

Brakes and taillights are 2 different circuit in the same bulb. If the dash and front lights are working, check the taillight bulbs.

Dashlights and taillights are in the same circuit. Either you have a blown fuse or the light switch is faulty.

Check the interior fusebox # 22 Tail fuse (15 A)
