what a freaking day

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

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

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.

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.
