no brake lights or parking lights

none of my parking lights work which means no tail lights. my brake lights just dont work at all. the only lights that do work are the headlights, turnsignals, hazards, and reverse lights. i need help. i have checked the fuses and they are all good as well. i also checked thewirng harness that goes to the light switch. sometimes the parking light work for a few minutes then cut out. i woulod appreciate any advice that could be given to me

you know what, dont mean to thread jack but I was about to post something similar. my right turn signal stopped working the other day and I thought it was the bulbs cause I can hear the clicking but the arrow inside doesn't light up or the outside ones either. but then like 30 minutes later it stared working again, it worked for like two days, the went out for like 5 hours, then started working again and it's been working for 3 days now. sorry for the long entry, just want to get details in.

Hey guys i dont' know if you guys went and got your brake light switch checked or not. But mine was cause some relay in the cpu that connect to the brake light switch was broken so all i did was wire from the brake light switch to the brake light circuit.

check the "room" fuse, your tailights, parklights, and all interior lights are tied together in one curcuit. so i dont see how just your outside llights dont work and your interior lights work. i had this same problem and i found out the next day that i accidentally grounded my cd plyaer head unit to the "illumination" wire from the original harness. so i cut the illum wire, taped it off cuase you dont need it and grounded the head unit to chassis and problem solved

Is this on the FB or FC?
The FB's front two parking lights and turnsignals were not hooked up. As for brake lights, try the brake switch on the pedal it self. Check it with a ohm meter.
