My tail lights don't work but brake lights do, what's the problem?

SOURCE: my brake lights are not working.

It could be the brake light switch above the brake pedal. Maybe this switch is bad. Just another thing you might want to check.

SOURCE: tail lights don't work but brake lights do. fuses are all good.

the bit which the bulb sits in might be faulty, only saying this, because I have had same issue with my car.

you got a wiring issue that keeps shorting out fuses find that and that should take care of everything else

Testimonial: "It was a wiring issue with the trailer light's control module located behind the driver's rear tire. Somehow, it went bad, and was causing all the problems. I bypassed it and problem solved. Funny, Ive had the Nissan for 9 years and never even used the hitch or light plug and it ended up causing me 2 days of chaos!"

You most likely have a defective/dirty brake light switch. Have a mechanic check the switch.
