Hi there. When the tail lights don’t work, either brake or turn signal, it’s typically an electrical relay or fuse that is damaged which causes this to occur. It’s a good idea for you to check and replace any fuses first to see if the issue resolves itself. If this doesn’t work, I would recommend having a professional mobile mechanic come to your location and complete a rear lights are not working inspection.
