Red face tail light questions

We are new owners to a 2007 Sportscoach Pathfinder 377DS. We continue to have problems with rear exterior lights. We did an "inventory" and the front lights (head light, brights, fog, turn signals, etc) all work fine. The taillights work when the headlights are on but the brake lights do not work on either side, the turn signal lights in the rear do not work on either side and the right backup light doesn't work.

We have searched without success for the fuse box for these lights. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello Cajun,

Turn on emergency blinkers, then, pull rear brake light bulb and try to install in opposite direction. Worked for me!

Take it to a local RV repair center, and they will find the problem.

try to see if the wire harness plug connection for your tail light in the rear of the rv is loose or corroded. Also look at your ground connection if possible make another ground connection. Also check the bulbs good the filament may be broken and you might not see it . It might be a simple fix but chasing wire shorts are a pita.

thanks to all.
We did find the fuse box (after talking with the previous owner). Of course, it was the one storage door we hadn't opened.

Also, we are in the process of changing out bulbs - even one that had the incorrect bulb in.

Have a great 4th of July! Happy Birthday America!

glad you found the fuse. surprised that no one suggest that. Tail/brake Lights are indexed with pins that prevent installation in the wrong direction. also glad you did not take it to a repair place that would have charged you hundreds of Pecos.
