Why is there no brake lights, tag or turn signals?
i have a mercury tracer 1994 1.9ltr
ok i got pulled over for NO rear lights. (i do have break lights, jus nothing else). i checked the fuse with a tester and its got power, the fuse is good. there is no power at the rear. the car is running really bad and the chilton book says "an electrial issue can cause the engine to run bad and misfire" so i think what ever happened to make my lights stop working is causing my car to run bad. i pulled the backseat and the carpet..i dont see where any wire is broken.
can i bipass this? maybe run a wire directly from the battery or somthing? cut the org wire? ok i know i cant since where ever the short is that is most likey the problem in the first place. i have a trailor harness and i dont see any thing wrong there either. what am i missing?
please help! i have already replaced the spark plugs and wires and the coil pack and the gas filter!
For starters, the rear lights have nothing to do with spark plugs/wires, coil pack, or fuel filter. While it's good that you changed those, it will help the engine run better, it wont fix the bad lights.
Electrical problems can be the hardest to diagnose and fix, so my advice to you would be that short of checking the battery, alternator, and fuses, you should take it to a trusted mechanic for repair.
There are so many electrical components and wires in a car that checking them all would require some major work. Most shops know exactly where to go because they have service manuals for the car. It would save you the huge headache you'll get from trying to troubleshoot if yourself.
