Ijust got my Bronco painted and replaced the taillights and now I don't have any lights back there, but the turn signals are working fine. The fuse is not blown. What else could it be?

My taillights will not turn on but my turn signals are working fine. Could there be some sort of short in the wires?

well i take it your brake lights are working also?you did install the correct light bulbs didnt you?they should be a double filament not sure but i think they are 1157 bulbs. signal and brake lights are on one filament of the bulb and tail lights are on another. i would check the bulbs and make sure they are properly installed.

You might also check the wiring under the rear bumper and quarter panel. I had the same problem, and found a wire was shorted out on the leaf springs. It was blowing fuses, though.
