    Oftentimes on my '94 the wires connecting the light socket to the electrical system come loose just play around with the tail light unit and wires, you might have some luck there

    Don't know if this will help or not, but when I bought my truck the battery kept dying, found out it was a small rubber stop had come out where my brake pedal switch is. I put a nylon grommet in the hole and it works fine, hope this helps somebody?

    my 95 pickup had the same problem.tailights didnt work headlights worked fine After 2days of exhaustive electrical testing I took the steering wheel collar off,plastic 5 screws,to get at the headlight /turn signal switch.2 more screws pops out undo the harness.the switch has a opaqe plastic shield covering 5 or 6 copper contact fingers. I took wd40 or pb Blaster and soaked the whole inside of the switch turning the switch on and off this released the grime that was causing lack of contact.Presto just like new hope this helps mvonzech@yahoo.com

    hi do you have a 95 Nissan pickup. My problem is the dash lights and tail lights do not work. every thing else works though(brakes, turn signals, head lights). do you think that is my easiest bet to fix it.
