there is a fuse for them ... reverse light not part of the setup

other place to look is on the brake pedal itself, up on the arm that the foot pedal is attached, there should be a plunger/relay that activates when you mash brakes, it may have come disconnected, loose or broken

good luck

they should all go to one or two common points. Check that they are clean and tight.

tight all right.

Here's what was discovered. A person needs to be the size of your average 12-year-old in order to get to the wiring under the dash. Evidently, many years ago a 12-year-old got down there and installed a transponder for the toll roads and bridges in Chicago. They must have been 12 because they cut into the wiring for the lights to attach this. Since this transponder hangs down, it somehow got nudged and unclipped, which is now interrupting the circuit somewhere in that mass of wiring. What a nightmare. We soldier on...

We didn't blow anybody up BUT the mystery still remains. Nothing worked. Two weeks ago we had some new tires put on so on the off chance that somehow caused this we called the mechanic. He said no but to bring it on over and he'd run some tests. Fortunately he's only about 6 blocks away so I didn't have to worry about driving through any traffic. He spent an hour checking stuff and could not figure out why there's no lights back there. He said he would check with some people he knew to see if they had any ideas.

So, now we wait. It just astonishes me that there is a vehicle that runs just fine but it can't be used because no brake lights could cause anything from a ticket to death.

has had a problem forever with grounds.

Chrysler has had A LOT of problems...
