I got pulled over the other day for my tail lights. The brake lights, backup, and signal lights all work fine. So first thing I checked was the fuse box, pulled out the fuse and it wasnt broken. Replaced it anyways and still didnt work. Anyone have any ideas on what this could be? It's a 97 Civic LX.

 

So then its just your normal lights not working?

Try replacing the bulbs. Many bulbs are 2 filiments, one might be burnt out. Or just pull all the bulbs and see which ones are blown.

Have you dont any electrical work recently or at all to your car?

 

the head light switch may be bad. or a ground problem

 

Just the regular night tail lights wont work. Head lights works fine. All lightings work fine. Replaced bulbs and they didnt work either. No electrical work has been done to this car since it's just a winter car.

 

Take one of the plugs off and check for voltage when lights are on. IF you don't get around 12v...more than likely you have a loose wiring or a pinched wire somewhere.

 

sounds like the bulb needs replacement...

 

relay.

 

It's not the bulbs, I checked the bulbs. Where is the relay located?

 

anyone have any ideas? still havent figured it out myself. Does anyone know how I could check to see whats wrong? Is there some sort of electrical tester that would tell me whats wrong?

 

i believe the relay is inder the hood on the passenger side. it should tell ya from there.
