Another episode of Cooper’s Automotive Repair. Today a customer brought in their van to find out why they have no rear lights. It turns out, there was a broken wire. Watch Tim find the culprit.

Awesome, awesome video. After much head scratching, checking wires, and replacing the multifuntion switch to no avail, I came across your video (at 2am). Seeing the path of the wiring spelled out in the video, I was able to trace the issue to a failing relay. Replaced the relay and brake lights are working again. A sincere thank you for putting this together.
Best video on this I have seen Cooper. I will let you know what I find and make my own video when I'm finished. I will be giving you a shoutout in my video as well. In the meantime Im hitting that red button. Hope you check out our channel as well.
Ford dealer may charge $2, 500.00 to find this!
Holy Cow!!
THAT was incredible to watch!! Like a crime scene investigation!
I came looking for a vid for a 2001 Ram 1500 with no brake lights/hazards/turn signals and found this vid below one of those.
Still haven't figured my prob out, but this was well worth the time spent watching.
THANKS and FOLLOWING

! Thts pro Level.. Thumps up
I have a question I have a 2001 Lexus gs300 that I can’t get out of park and no brake lights .i did check the fuse and replaced the brake switch .what else should I look for ?
I have a 2004 Silverado and the problem is with the Drivers side tail light. I have the running lights working but no signal/stop or hazards just on that back drivers side A tech changed them a year ago and paid them $500 and don`t want to pay another $$$$.
They switched out the original tail lights for Square LED tail lights.Any advice on where to look or start would be very much appreciated.
where you located
I replace the bulbs often. And not long after they burn out, they almost look like they caught fire before burning out. Black on bulbs.
2002 dodge Dakota no brake lights fuses bulbs and relay on brake pedal is all good what's next
I have a 95 nissian altima my brake lights don't work either and I can't shift out if park due to the breaks lights not working. I have check fuse and it's good. I have also replace brake light switch and still not coming. What should else should I check.
really helpful thanks for the video
I have a similar problem with my 1996 Ford Ranger.
The left side has no function. What could that be?
Hello Tim You are really a Great Teacher Technicians, thank you for your tips, I'm going to try to find out where in my Van is the shortages.
Thnx…
Awesome troubleshooting. Also, has anyone ever told you you look and sound like Michael Keaton?
had one brake light out, went to the dealer for an ignition switch repair (recalled part). they tell me both are now out. I replaced both bulbs, brake switch, and turn signal switch, in addition to checking fuse. top brake light works. hazards and turn signals work, which use the same bulb. 2004 Honda Element. suggestions?
why would break light not light up brighter on pressing break pedal
thank you very much, i solved my brake problem.. God bless you….
How much did it cost
good video, and honest mechanic. i do want to point out a humorous thing though.
17 minutes and 31 seconds of real time = 2 hours mechanic time. lol
still, great trouble shooting tutorial
I already switch the brake light switch no back lights I change the bulbs nothing it worked good for like 2 mins gen went off again
iam new machine where did buy the test light pleas and pleas
thank you much your video is helpful
Awesome job on the van. My 15AMP break light fuse keeps burning out on my 99 Tacoma.I observed both tail light wireing and only saw one kinked or cracked wire in the back drivers side (left?) tail lights which was also green with a white stripe so I spliced it with a little red crimp splicer.
