The tail lights are also called parking lights. There is a 10amp fuse for each rear parking lamp. The fuses are in the rear fuse box. Your owner's manual will tell you where that fuse box is located. The fuses get power from a park lamp relay.
Well the fact the high mount/3rd brake light works proves brake light switch is working. I would suspect factory trailer connector wire which feeds off tailight is broken. Follow wire from plug back to left taillight where it is exposed to the elements.
This sounds very much like a grounding problem on your lamp cluster, some times a cluster of lamps use a common ground ( negative wire). Also some cars use the car body as the ground connection. I think the reason the tail light works when the brake light is off is because the tail light is grounded through the brake light bulb. Check the bulb holder and the ground connection.
Open the hatch and locate the 2 plastic covers, behind the tail light area on the inside panel. Remove these covers and the nut (8mm) behind them to access the light assembly. Pull lightly on the light assembly to remove, then replace the bulb.
Most Ford Explorers sometimes have a electrical problem, you can replace bulb if that don''t work try to move the wires around, and find out if it is wiring if so either take it to get wire harness replaced or u can test new bulbs
You shouldn't have BRAKE LIGHTS on , when you turn on the HEADLIGHTS. Tailights , YES, sounds like they are not working . Check the TAILIGHT FUSE. Hope this helps
Usely dash lights and taillights are on the same fuse, if you don't have dash lights you won't have tailights. If you got dash lights than you could have blown bulbs or maybe a bad headlight switch.
