Why do brake lites show tail lites on 1989 silverado?

Make sure the bulbs are inserted correctly, if o/k look for wiring issues. A common cause is a recent trailer harness installation or repair.

1988 crown Victoria Tail and parking lights don't work but fuse and switch is okay what could be wrong?

Tail lites work, do flashers work ? Is the bulb good ? Try a new bulb first, still does not work. Check the wire just before the lites for power with a 12 volt tester, if power check contacts in the bulb holder. Still does not work and no power to the lites, you will have to find the right wire up in the front of the car and check there, could be a break in the line.

Have 1997 grand Cherokee replaced the bulbs in the tail lites and everything works fine as soon as I put my foot on the brake the rear lites on the vic flash saying there is an issue?

Couple of things. Check the ground for the loom at the rear. If that is clean and tight I would suspect that the problem is in the brake light switch.

Why do you have brake and head lites on your 1998 ford but no tail and plate lites?

did you check your fuses. Has ther been any repairs back there like a new fuel pump? Is it four wheel drive and someone snagged a wire? I would say it is an open line or the possibility that both tailights went out and you just now noticed. Check the bulbs

Why No tail lites or dash lites fuses o k?

Dash lights and tail lights usually work off the same fuse. Some vehicles have two fuse panels, one inside usually under the dashboard and another inder the hood. If the fuse is good, the problem may be a bad connection or burnt wire at the fuse block. "Jump" the leads where the fuse fits into. If you still have no lights, there is a bad connection or burnt wire. If you get lights, the fuse neds to be replaced.

The back dash lite will lite when the brakes are applied. The two tail lites will not lite up when the break is applied. What could be wrong?

If the back dash light will light when the brakes are applied but the two tail lights will not light up, there is probably a short in the wiring somewhere. It could also be that the fuse for the brake lights is burned out.

How do you get to the license plate light system on a Ford Freestar?

Open rear tail gate and remove lower half of panel. You will have to remove 4 screws. Then it will snap off. You will be able to reach inside of the metal frame work to reach lites.

When lites are on stepping on brake pedal turns tail lite off and no brake lite either?

You have a short between the 2 circuits, check at the rear bulb sockets & see if a trailer harness was installed as they usually are the source of a lot of bad wiring
