Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 1986 F150. Strangers told me my tail lights weren't working. My dash lights quit about a month earlier. Bulbs look fine and I replaced the headlight switch after checking the fuses. Nada.

Did you check those two fuses? Also, use a test light and check voltage at fuses. Always check voltage and grounds. My wiring diagrams for that model year, aren't very good.
