As stated no brake or rear signal lights. Front signals ok, tail lights ok. Checked fuses beside dash ok. Is there another fuse/breaker panel. Both rear replaced. Any ideas ? Thanks

pull the bulbs out again and check for power at the sockets with lights on, if you have no power , a brown wire from both sockets goes to a connector under the truck, locations differ with vin#s just trace the brown wire it powers everything in the rear

Thanks. That's what I did. Found there was poor connection at both lights. Pried bulb contacts out a bit to make better contact & it works. What threw me was both going bad at same time. Thanks again. Cliff
