My name is Jennifer, I am a younger girl who knows nothing about car's besides the basic changing light bulbs, fuses, fluids....I just moved cross country and have no money but tail lights stopped working on my 94 Camry with a million miles on it. It's 2 wheel drive, 4 cyl, automatic, 200,000 miles. I want to try everything I can to fix it before I have to bring it to the shop. I checked all the fuses in the inside panel and replaced the tail light fuse, even though it looked fine. I replaced all the bulbs in the back of the car and checked for corrosion. The back side marker, signal, top brakes, brakes, and license plate lights work fine. All front lights including high beams work fine as well. Tail lights will not turn on when the lights are on, or at all. Had the dimmer switch replaced a year ago working fine. If anyone could explain to a novice anything else I could try to solve this, I would REALLY appreciate it : ) Thanks so much!

If you have confirmed that the side marker and number plate lights are working, then you have isolated your problem to that general area. Check all the wiring in the area using a testlight so you can determine where you are losing either power or ground. You may also have a bad "light failure sensor" which monitors the rear lighting.
