check your wires ("wiring harness") to/from the switch. my red/blk burned down near the cpu (actually at one of the connectors; either green or blue). look down there.
also, the switch "looked" okay or volt tested okay?

My tail lights don't work, but my head lights do
The light switch connections may have burnt out. Check the back of the light switch.

You can post the FAQ for FC up at the top[ of the 2nd gen section... and hope everyone reads it before posting... but it is a lot like the horse and water thing, huh?

You have never heard of the saying, that "you can lead a horse to water, but can't make him drink"?

sounds familiar, but i guess its rarely put into practice. in fact, i can think of a quote from a song thats a take on that (aesop rock).
i like that saying though. clever.
