I have a 1998 Chevy Z71. This issue is with the taillights. My right tailight, brake light, and turning signal works, but the reverse light does not. My left side does not work at all. The 3rd brake light also doesn't work. With a light tester, I found voltage at the boards on the lights and tried replacing the bulbs and it didn't help. I replaced the circuit boards in the lights and the problem didn't change. Everything in the front works perfectly. I'd appriciate some help!
