Bottled is right... one of your tail lamps is out. F*rds do the same thing now. Easy fix, depending on how easy they are to get to.

FIXED IT!!!!!!!
I was thinking about it and thought-it can't be the bulbs cause the reverse, park, and turn signal didn't work on both of the back lights-so I was thinking that it had something to do w/ the wires-
Wripped up the carpeting in the trunk to find a disconnected pulg! and there u have it!!!

Hey! Kevin's back!

Yes, those '95-ish Taurus and such are a rear treat to get the tail lamps, eh? Less than half a day to do each side...
