brake light problems
when i turn my lights on (parker lights, low beam and high beam ligths) my tail lights do not come on. when i press the brake it tail lights come on, but to have normal driving tail lights they are dead?
is it as simple as a fuse? or should i go into an auto lecky place?
i would like to do it myself to save money if it is something simple im missing

Brake lights and tail lights most likely have a shared earth. However they have different power wires coming in. When you press the brake pedal, it's the brake lights coming on not the tail lights, they just happen to be in the same place.
I don't know. Check the fuse! And the globes. I wouldn't go near an auto elec until you've at least checked those things.is it as simple as a fuse?
This is not legal advice.
thanks guys, i'll have a look at it tomorrow.
i havnt put a new stezza in or anything elcetrical. last thing i changed was a new stero which was 3 months ago
i havnt had the car in mud or dirt. last time my car touched any dirt was movin from weipa to isa which was 3 weeks ago.
i have had a look at the fuses, but i didnt pull every one out. so mite have a look tomorrow. give it a good look over

update:
i think i may found out what my problem is. i remeber the last time i touched dirt which was on wednesday
i forgot about that little trip. anyway the road was bull dust. i manged to pull one side off and it was full of dust. so gave her a blow and now need to do the other side.but i ending up striping one of the bolts that holds a cage/rail protector of the light so cant take the light cover off with the cage in the way. goin to work tomorrow to fix it with a grinder
