i have a 199 tahoe 2 d00r and the other day the tail lights went out. i have head lights brake lights and blinkers just no tail lights or insrument panel light. any suggestions?

 

might be just a fuse, check your fuses. Typical a ground will cause more outages but that could be the case since the tail/running lights are a differnet wire. or a break in the system, but I wouldn't expect the instr. panel to be on the same line.

good luck

 

If both taillights are out, then it's either a fuse or your wiring to the rear end has been severed (very doubtful).
A fuse check is THE place to start.

 

My friend has a 95 3/4 GMC his brake lights went out all others worked, it turned out it was a big fuse under the hood. (not a normal size fuse a big big fuse)

 

most chevys i have seen
the instrument cluster and tail lights are on the same fuse
so check that

 

Pop the hood
On the driver's side their is a fuse distribution center
Open it and look under the cap to see which fuses are what
It's going to a mini fuse

Check to see if it's blown. Next I would move to the lights the lights them selves and see if the bulbes are ok. It's doubtful that both blew at the same time but you never know.

Then I would go to the brake switch on the brake pedal and see if everything visibly looks to be in working order.

As for the other posts it's not going to be a maxi fuse and the brake lights are not tied into the cluster. Not sure where you got that from.

 

the tail lights and the instrument cluster are usually on the same fuse

he said tail lights not brake lights
so he shouldnt check the brake switch
