I have a 1990 honda accord lx. just replaced rear tail light assembly on right rear. it was cracked and let water in which caused the tail lights not to work.

the brake lights still work as do the signals...but my tail lights are still out...and i mean all of them .. not just the right side.. checked all the fuses both under the hood and the ones in the panel next to the drivers side kick panel. all good.... but now that my assembly is in and hooked up the rear lights still don't come on and now when i hit the brake pedal i can hear a click and feel it in the automatic shifter... :/

any ideas? dunno where to start other than replace the right rear bulb since the one that came with the new assembly might be duff...

thanks

 

the click is normal its the auto shift release.....and if your dash lights are out also its the small light fuse under the hood

 

i have never heard the click in the shifter until yesterday... and my dash lights are fine as are my running lights in the front... just my running lights in the back won't work... even though my brake lights and signal lights work... *shrug*

 

The tail lights, brake lights, and turn signals are three different circuits, so it's not surprising that two of them work while the other one doesn't. Since this problem started with water in your tail lights, you likely shorted something out. Double check or replace your fuses. Your only option is to track down where in the circuit you have power and where you don't. Use a circuit tester or multimeter.
