hey everyone
1 I hope someone can help me out by answering my guestions. I was in a hurry and was replacing a light in the rear tail of an 05 tC with the lighrts on. when I put the new light in the rear lights all went out. No plate lights or driving tail lights. BUT the brake lights still come on. I tried to find a bad fuse but all are still good. soes any one know or have any ideas. thank you I also work tonight (overnights) and the dealrships around me are to busy. thank you again

 

Sounds like a fuse to me. I would say check them again.

 

just teseted again with the multimeter. only one fuse was reading 0.01 it was the first 20 fuse
switched batterys and tried again same thing tested directly to the car battery read 12.64 I have to go to work hope I make it please continue to leave suggestions thank you again

 

you may have disconnected a wire like a ground, if you yanked any wires check around maybe you'll find something

i'd double check the fuses too, I've had fuses "look" ok but they really weren't

 

it sounds like u burned up the parking light filament (our cars use a dual filament bulb, one for parking light and one for brake lights) on the bulb as you installed it with the power on. if the brake lights work but not the parking light its usually the light bulb itself as most brake light systems use the same fuse. i would install new bulbs and check to see if it is working again. sometimes when the parking light filament is out its really hard to tell.

 

it's a fuse buddy..
10A TAIL fuse..

you probably looked in the wrong area... it's the inside fuse box..

 

^^There are 2 separate panels where fuses are located; one under the hood and the other is inside the car next
to the steering wheel. The Tails fuse is located inside the car. Stick your head in by the pedals and look up. You'll see the cover.

 

Okay thank you all again for the suggestions. i just got home from work with some new bulbs going to try them out. I tried all the fuses, but will try again. wish me luck

 

When I put LEDs in my 'reverse' lights, I took the Tails fuse out before I swapped the bulbs out.
After install of LEDs, I put the fuse back in. All was good afterward.

 

Thank you all again very much always knew this was the place to go for ?'s
The problem was fixed turned out after a few hours of searching and checking wires. it wsa a bad wire leading from the front to the rear electrical. problem solved and now i can enjoy my weekend.
