The first thing to check when facing an inoperational electrical component, especially when it comes to bad tail lights, is the fuse. A fuse is basically a metal band inside a plastic container designed to break when the current flowing through it becomes too high. This protects other parts of the electrical system from becoming damaged.
There are generally two areas that contain fuses in a car.
- One is a fuse panel inside the cabin of the vehicle. This is normally in the front passenger side, behind a plastic panel underneath the dash. In certain cars it can be found on the side of the dash with the passenger side door opened all the way.
- The second common area to find fuses is in the main fuse box under the hood. It's a big black box that has a lot of wires attached to it. Once you take the cover off the top of it, you can access the fuses inside.
Each fuse controls a different electrical component, and their jobs should be listed on the covering you removed to access the fuses. If not, they can be identified by using the owner's manual, or by looking up a year, make, model specific diagram online.
Once the fuse that controls your tail lights is identified, it can be tested using a fuse tester, which will light up if the fuse is good. If it doesn't light up, the fuse should be replaced with one of the same size and amperage. On certain fuses, you can visually see a break in the metal wire inside a bad fuse.
