The tail lights in my 2000 ford ranger stopped workinh this morning. The brake and turn signals work fine though! I thought they were all on the same fuse. Thanks for any help in advance. chris

should be a separate fuse as well as a separate bulb I check the fuse first, because it is easiest and it should be labeled on the panel box. some vehicle's lights are linked if it isn't the fuse I would change out both bulbs . the only other thing it could be is a wiring problem either one shorted out or needs the ground cleaned off if became rusted or corroded.

replace the bulbs

The problem is the tail light wire in the connector is corroded. The fix is: On the driver side under the tail light by the frame you will find the wiring connector. There is a brown wire there. It is the tail light wire. Pull it out and clean it up and put it back in. If it doesn't work you will have to put a new wire in from the brown wire you pulled out to the brown wire at the tail light on the driver side. You tail lights should work then.
