Like the title says, I have no brake/reverse lights. I have been battling this issue for about 6 months. For awhile, they were shotty. Now they are completely gone. Bulbs are good btw. All this started after hooking up a crappy trailer.

Thought it was the trailer, but the lights worked. Tried my tow harness, and its good. Unhook my truck, and the brake/reverse doesnt work, but the running lights do. No lamp out, no codes, no other lights are having trouble. Sometimes I get just the driver side reverse to light up.

Remember this is an 07, so TIPM module. No separate fuse for the brake lights, and the running ones wouldnt work anyway. All fuses are good. I am stumped, tried a ton, resets, unhooking lights, etc. Someone posted this: TSB 08-021-06

read it and see what you think. I am dumbfounded by the TIPM module and really dont know what to think. Obviously I need this fixed. I dont have time for 2 weeks to take it to Dodge. Same thread as on DF

You sure there isn't just a loose connection somewhere? Sometimes those connectors can come loose going into the light

Why were all your lights going off at the same time? Like the airbag light
