hey everyone so quick question. I have no tail lights or break lights but I have turn signals. Is there a different fuse I need to check

That was my next step but I wasn't sure if that would stop the tail lights from working along with the break lights

when my boo switch was bad, I still had tail lights that turned on when headlights are on, but no brake lights shining brighter light when stepping on brakes
Replaced the switch and all was fixed. If you have no lights at all, I don't think that the boo switch would keep you from having lit taillights when headlights or parking lights are on..

Check and see what other items are on that same circuit, if any of them are working, then of course its not the fuse

Ok update on the car. I have my tail lights working. Found an entire harness not plugged in from the sho to wagon swap.

New problem!
Only my 3rd break light works no other break lights work. I've traced the wire and I'm not getting any power from those wires all the way up to the harness behind the dash.

My dash lights also don't work

I've checked all the fuses and I'm stumped

Ok new update!

Dash lights are now working!
After a few hours of digging around in the dash it ended up just being the dimmer switch. After jumping the switch over the lights work great now.

Still no break lights but I spliced my passenger side break light wire so I have working lights.

Long story short this car has been setting for over 12 years after being swapped over. So I expected a lot of these issues coming into it. I will creat a introduction for myself and the car as soon as I have it road ready which should be tomorrow.
