The turn signals and tail lights work. My third brake light works but my regular brake lights do not. Any thoughts? I replaced the brake light switch already. Also I do not have a fuse box chart to tell me which fuses are for what. Thanks in advance for any help.

Good morning,

If the third light works, it is not a fuse. The wires for the rear lights come off a splice with the third light.

I attached the diagram for you to view. Check the splice if you can find it. Check the light green wire at the tail lights for power as well.
