Hey guys I have a problem, My tail lights are not working.

All the other lights work fine (break, head, turn signals) but at night when I turn on the lights the tail lights are not working.

Its a 2004 model, what could be the issue and how do I fix it?

Thanks for any help.

 

I would start with the obvious, check the bulbs and fuse, also check the general condition of the connector making sure there is no corrosion. The lenses are known for separating from the rest of the assembly allowing water to enter which can corrode the connector. I had a similar problem with my van tail lights and mice had chewed the wires underneath the fuse block in the engine bay by the battery. Hope this at least gives you somewhere to start.

 

Front parking lights work correct? Fuse? No. There are two. One powers the left side fore and aft the other the right side fore and aft. Fronts are working so can't be a fuse. Parking light relay? No. Single output powers all for corners. That leaves the Front Control Module (FCM) and the IPM - your fuse box. The FCM controls power to all the exterior lights. The IPM routes power from the FCM to the respective light circuits. Both have a known issue with corrosion. Try a wiggle test on IPM and it's connectors and see if the lights try to come on. No joy? Loosen up the bolts on the FCM on the front of the IPM and try wiggling it. Still no lights? Remove the IPM connections and the FCM and inspect for damaged/corroded contacts. Make sure you disconnect the negative battery cable first.

 

where is the fcm

 

It's that silver box bolted to the front of the IPM (fuse box).
