i go the car back from the shop because of an accident, i picked it up last nite it was good then i found out that my lights in the back are not workking(the brake light all of them they dont even light up) the only light that works is the yellow light turn signal, the fronts work fine. mind you im in louisville,ky. i wake up early in the morning hopping to get it fixed and the c*ck sukers at the dealership are not working because of DERBY. aaaaaaa then come to find out i had waater in my spare tire are. not too much but a good amount and has been rainning hard too though but still. man i hate derby

 

check fuse for rear tail lights? bulbs good?

 

yeah thats the first thing i did was check the fuse and make sure the bulb was in their i mean i would understand if he driver side rear light were not working because thats where i got hit at but the whole rear except the yellow loght is just rediculous

 

thread title briefly explaining topic of thread....

do the obvious things - check the fuses and connections

 

also could be the relay or the switch behind the brake pedal. Thats what failed in my car. Good luck!

 

its not that...he said the parking lights dont work either.

since the parking and brake are the only ones not working, and that is the same bulb, its probably a fuse or bad connection

 

Could be they forgot to connect the wiring harness.

 

but what are the odds of them doing the blinker and reverse on both sides but forget the parking/brake on both sides? they are all inches from each other.

im thinking the fuse

 

well i was out there erlier with a couple of buddies and checked it out but they are looking good im gonna recheck tom morning oh and only the rear passenger side marker light is on the other side is off.

 

yeh plus i got water leaking from somewhere well ill have them figure it all out

 

it would have really helped if you had provided more information

what was damaged in the accident?
what parts were replaced?

 

http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....211&highlight= this is the link i posted when i had the accident. it was rear end damage mostly to the left side/ driverside rear end. new quarter panel, trunk the trunk are needed to be straightened and new bumper as well as the new taillight. it needed a little frame work done as welll. i havent seen it on a dry day cause its been raining for a couple of days, but it looked good. i mean they should have checked it out themsselfs before they gave it to me to make sure everything worked you know.

 

oh and if you are looking in that post its not the black maxima that was someone elses car.mine is silver

 

if the fuses and bulbs are fine, bless your wires did't get ruined in the crash.

 

check the ground in the rear...

 

im not even gonna mess with it really its up to the dealership to find the problem i am gonna try to drive carefully and not get pulled over till tom i guess

 

so if you arent even going to attempt to fix the problem...why did you start a thread this forum isnt here for you to have a place to vent...its to get advice on fixing a problem.
