My tail lights don't work at all! All the fuses are clean and new. the turn signals work, but none of the rear lights work. No brake lights, no running lights, no parking lights and no reverse lights. the bulbs are all fine.

And the Brake warning light is on in the car, I assume this has to do with that?

Is there a tail light relay?

Are they plugged in?

I had tail light issues, too. All gone now with no new parts!

Maybe this thread can help you...

Yes, they are plugged in. The left tail light is slightly broken where you suggested it might need a screw. I will be adressing that this afternoon.

IT WORKS!

So I had just put in a new turn signal relay, my thought process was something is fucked up with wiring and that might be causeing my problems, so I go pull the turn signal relay, the other relay (very long) right beside it feels loose. I push it back in, check lights, they work!

Every light that had an issue now works.

Now, time to change a tire and eplace a pitman arm... but we don't have a part called a pitman arm... that's a new thread going up in a second.

That is the bulb out indicator/headlight relay, when it goes bad or is loose it effects all external light depending on what is wrong with it. When it fails its usually the headlights or fog lights that dont work first.

Where is that relay located

Where is that relay located

In the back section of the fuse box.

 

[Streetsweeper2]

Which fuse box

 

[Streetsweeper2]

No relay

 

[LeftCoastGeek]

the main relay box behind the fuse box, there's one particularly long relay, that is the bulb out sensor. its "K" on page 00-B.2/1 here (page 3/12)

(note its drawn as three seperate boxes "K", but they are all one relay module)

You've been asking W124 guys for help and you drive a W210..

I'll move your post to the appropriate forum.

You never identified your problem. It would be best for you to start a new thread in the W210 forum.

Good luck

exterior lighting for a US model 1993-1995 6 cyl Sedan, http://freescruz.com/.priv/W124/w124CD1/Program/ETM/24821700.pdf

other models vary. older cars may be different, too.
