Tail lights were recently working. Now no tail lights. Here's what I know so far:

All fuses good
All other lights work
Brake lights work
Continuity checked between each of 3 linesonthe 2 bulbs; I can touchany line on left and get continuity on each of 3 lines on right


I think it's at the ignition switch, but don't want to remove disassemble unless it's more likely the culprit.

This is my first electrical diagnosis. None of the wires appear damaged.

I'm trying to follow Haynes manual for diagnosis. I haven't yet checked the Honda Service manual I have on CD.

I need someone with more diagnostic skills to tell me what to check.

 

Wait, so all the wires are good, fuses are good, and the light comes on when you brake but just no running light? I bet the running filaments burnt out. Just replace the bulbs.

 

How likely is that??? To have 2 bulbs burn out at same time. Thought I checked bulb. Night time is not a good time to visually check a bulb. Thanks for the solution. Glad I checked again and didn't take more than tail off. Mystery solved.

 

yeah, it happens, I've had it happen to me on my truck.
