Tail light electrical issues

5

Asked by CivilEngineer Jan 31, 2016 at 08:41 PM about the Dodge RAM 2500

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Have a 2000 ram 2500 turbo diesel. The tail lights work but the brake lights,
rear turn signals, and the reverse lights don't work. The third (auxiliary) brake
light works fine. Although I have not checked any of the bulbs yet, it seems
improbable that all 4 bulbs would go out at the same time. Any feedback is
greatly appreciated.

Did you check your fuses? If bulbs are good, you may try fuse box. Otherwise may be control board / electronic issue.
