Rear lights
Asked by TommyCola Apr 18, 2016 at 07:14 PM about the 2012 Ford Escape Limited AWD
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
When I put the headlights on, both rear lights are off. Yet, the brake lights and
signal lights work fine? I can see both bulbs on when breaking or signaling.
I'm thing the switch is bad? Any ideas?

You just may have burnt out bulbs, as it is a two filament bulb, one for brake & turn, the other is the running light, (tail light) Try changing the bulbs.
15A Fuse. I think #21 if I remember correctly?
when I put the brake pedal it burns the fuse and can move from parking
OMG fuse and burnt bulb you numb nuts!! You have to set your headlight switch to the 3rd setting to the right. By default it is set all the way counter clockwise left. Rotate 2 clicks to the right. To test, try your brights, I bet they only stay on when you push or pull and hold the lever! Move knob to the right 2 clicks then try again.
I am currently having the same problem it was a burnt fuse I replaced the fuse and it instantly burnt out again so there must be a short somewhere can anyone help me locate the rear tail light wires so I can look for the short?
