Check the bulbs… lol Had a mechanic onetime that was convinced that a car needed a brake light switch all because all the brake lights were out (not working), I asked if he checked the bulbs and he said no, I said check the bulbs and get back to me… it had blown overtime all the bulbs… lol But check fuses as already said… ---

Check for a ground connection in each bulb socket. I’ll bet you don’t have one if ALL the lights are out. Find and fix the ground. If you have ground, check for voltage. ---

Good grief . . . Remove the taillights . . . it should take but a few minutes . . . and inspect the bulbs If they’re black(ened) or have broken filaments, replace them
