ok so my driver side turn signal went out and so i changed it. i guess the old one was the original or something because it was pretty stuck in there and the glass came off. i had to remove the bottom metla part with a pair of needlenose pliers then all of a sudden the tailights went out!!!. if i step on the brakes they light up but not when i have the headlights turned on like they are supposed to. any ideas???

 

did you disconnect the battery while working on the lights?

 

no i had to do it in front of My friends house IN A HURRY and all i had was the pliers

 

was it the front turn signal?
do your panel lights work?

if the answers are yes & no in that order, recheck the bulb & socket for any problems & then check the tail light fuse.

 

yeah it was the front turn signal and yes the instrument panel lights work. i was thinking the fuse as well but if i step on the brakes they light up like they are supposed to. only they do not stay on went the headlights are on. i'll check the fuse though just in case.

Fuseable link?

 

ok yeah the tails where out becuz the fuse blew. however now the damn blinker light that i was fixing in the fist place is not blinking. the passenger side blinks fine but the driver side stayslit in the rear and dont even turn on in the front. i am going to check the harness fro shorts or something like that.

 

Try replacing the bulb again.You can get a bad one easy.
