Lost lights

I lost brake lights and turn signals just in the rear. I thought it was because I fix the trailer plug but I pull the plug apart at the rear end and no power. I do have running lights.

Okay, what have you done to troubleshoot this? As in, have you checked fuses as a first step?

how about license plate lights? I'm thinking something may have severed your wiring harness to the rear (basically just south of the gas tank)?

It's possible that the bed lost ground. Time to break out the test light.

How do you know they're good? What did you do? The sooner you start being more specific, the closer you are to getting this fixed.

Did you remove any ground wires from the body screw behind the light fixture ?
