rear tail lights not working at night

[martman00]

My brake lights work. My Signal lights work. At nigh time, when I'm not braking or signaling, there are no "running lights". Ive tried replacing the brake light with a OEM bulb since it looks like it has double-duty at night time but no luck.

What else can I try? Will i need to replace the whole damn unit?

Thanks

Test the plug and see if you are getting power for the lights. Then you will need to track that down.

Would I be able to replace just the plug? If its a problem with the harness I think I'm pretty boned. I'm really not sure how to go about troubleshooting that or even getting to much physically.

Its freezing outside and I'm wondering if I'll need to tap out and go to a stealership basically.

Thanks

not sure how the taillights are wired since i have LED tail from factory, but maybe check the fuse too.

There is no fuse to check, power is supplied via the BCM. Most likely 2 culprits, the bulb (7743) or a loose plug. Did you have any work done before you noticed them not working?

Nope, no work done, no accidents, etc
