Both tail lights quit, although brakes, turn, hazards & reverse good

Ford F-150 2002 V8 triton lariat 178000 miles
Power windows would not work after having truck parked for sometime. When i first got it tuned up to get back on the road i noticed power windows didnt work. After checking and changing and adding missing fuses, the power windows worked but the night time running tail lights didn't work. Didnt notice at 1st bc it was daytime. But 1st night drive i found out later than one would like. So turn signals, hazards, brake lights, and reverse lights all work. But not the tail lights. There isnt any fuse directly labeled for this in the cab fuse box or the one under the hood. Anyone know what fuse controls these or could cause these to stop suddenly along with the dash cluster back light illumination stop work after the the first fuse fix to correct the power windows.

@AnthonyI have the regular 2004 f150 not the g10 so I’m guessing it would still be the instrument panel illumination?

Joe1 from United States a year ago
@AnthonyWhat’s up, man? It did not work. I replaced. The fuse. Still doesn’t work. I even disconnected the dimmer. Still nothing. I have a 5.6 V8 now when I turn the AC on the hazard lights, light, but are not blinking also, I disconnected the dimmer and my turn turn signals are not working when I try to turn them on they both blink. Also, when I click the hazards, it makes a buzzing sound.

@Joe1You could have a short somewhere or the relay is bad. Or both

No brake lights

Ford F-150 2006 F150 xlt 5.4 1235001235 miles
Pulled boat trailer all weekend, running lights, side marks, still work on trailer, no brake lights. Tried a different trailer, same issue. No brake lights (all 3) on truck, tail lights come on, headlights and turn signals work. Bulbs good and cleaned connectors with contact cleaner, 20 amp mini fuse wasnt blown but looked discolored at prong base, changed anyway. Replaced 5 prong pigtail but not 7way cleaned connection. Parking brake light on, but it has been. Brake switch sensor or ground??? Where would ground be and is there only 1? Is there a way to test brake pedal switch and where is it exactly? Or could it be something else??? Thanks.

I would find a wiring diagram that shows your trailer hook ups and what they lead to upfront and do a continuity test on the tail light wire connector in the rear to where it goes. If you get a beep, it’s still good if not, then wire is broken somewhere in that loom.
