We have a chevrolet express 1500 year 2002. When the brakes are on and the van is off the tail lights turn on, the thing is when we turn the van on and head lights on the tail lights don't turn on at all. DOES ANY ONE KNOW what we can do to fix this any ideas.If any one can tell us how to re wire or fix this in anyway we thank you so much.

Tail lights would go out or high light worked, but low light didn't, bulbs were not blown. AFter inspecting the housing found that GM would spot weld the ground through the plastic housing to the wire. Both sides ultimately failed. Ended up cutting through the lamp housing, cleaning off the molten plastic and making a good connection to the ground.
