Question regarding electrical

[rocky yo]

I am having a problem with tail light and brake light not working. I changed the bulbs but still nothing. Hezzy suggested it might be a ground problem. I am still looking into that. Someone suggested that the lights might be out because I may have a front bulb not working. I have not checked yet but I thought I would ask if that makes sense to anyone ? As an added point, on the dash when I put the signal on in that direction I just get a solid arrow that does not flash.

if your tail light isn't working the signal indicator will not flash. do a thorough check for good grounding. if all looks good get out the test light and start checking for where you have power and where you don't.

Don't forget the fuses.

Don't trust a fuse just because it looks good. Check it or replace it just to be sure. Do the simple tests first.

A good test light is your best friend in electrical problems.

sounds familiar a peak reading volt meter is invaluable as well - the fluke units are very good.
