Alright so first off my tail lights wouldnt come on when i turned my lights on but my brake lights would work, now they both wont work, i checked the fuses nd still good but anything else that i could possibly look for? thanks for the help

In the rear paneling, there is a voltage regulator/sensor for the tail lights. It's the thing that tells the idiot light in the cluster to come on when it senses an open/changed voltage (i.e. bulb is out or not lighting properly) and also supplies power to the tail lights. It's in the rear paneling (I think towards the center on the drivers side) in the hatch. If that fails then you won't get power to the tails. It's either a light green or white block attached to the back under the paneling. That should fix it 99.9% of the time. If not, then something's messed up in the wiring.

Cool i know exactly what your talking about nd i found looks to be a mouse or something but cant tell cause its just fur nd bones.....hmm lmao anyways cool now i just get to get the replacement ...thanks

Um, yeah... If you found a dead something back there, then it *might* have chewed through some wires... I'd look around in the immediate area for broken/ exposed wires shorting out against the chassis. That would be my immediate plan of action, THEN I would fork out the money for the new voltage regulator. Who knows, might be a $5 fix as opposed to a $75 fix.

haha ya i know what you mean as soon as you said about that sensor i checked out the prices but whatever was dead seems to have been there for a while cause there was no meat on those bones haha nd i never had any problems when i first got the car so i really doubt it but then again ya never know so thanks for the help!

didnt your car smell like poop at any time over the last hot spell or maybe the bones have been there since new..........sounds like csi investigation needed........how long have you had the light issues...it may not be the carcasses fault...........R.I.P

So I’m having the same problem but I don’t know where this voltage regulator/sensor for the tail lights is can you send a picture or describe where it is more? Thank you

Please follow the link in my signature to the Factory Service Manual, in the EL section you will find pages with locations of different electrical units, that should help you pinpoint the module.
