Rear light help.

My tail and brake light on both sides dont go on. I checked the bulbs (left side only) and they look okay.

The third brake light on the roof, the reverse light, and the turn signal is working okay.

I looked at the fuse and I cant tell if it is good or bad.

Thanks
Alex

An inexpensive continuity tester would answer a lot of questions here, as would a VOM to check for voltage at the sockets...

Exactly, a fuse can look good, but sometimes they will break at one end and you'll never see the problem. Same with bulbs.
