NO tail lights!!!
Hello,
I am having some problems with my tail lights on my '89 F-250. They work when you turn on the trun signals, they work when you apply the brakes, but they dont work when you turn on the headlights (like a parking light sorta deal). It just started doing this today.
Any ideas???
TIA

Your description is a little vague. I am going to guess your turnsignal and brake lights work as you described, and when you turn the headlights on, the taillights do work, but the turn and brake functions will not. The turn and brake functions will work again when the taillights are off.
If this is the correct senario, then it's the classic grounding problem for the rear bulbs. It can be the bulbs are corroded in the sockets, or the ground from the socket to the bed is bad.
