Default problem with no taillights

i need some help diagnosing a problem with my taillights.

when I turn on my headlights. I have no taillights.

I also have no brake lights.

I do have backup lights though.

Also, im not sure if this is related but when I press the lock button on my FOB the alarm starts going off and the horn continuously honks until i press unlock. this started happening about the same time my lights stoped working


Please help
Brad

This happend to me a week ago. You have the Euro tail lights right. Check your connection to the existing harness. One of the black wires came loose on mine. Got another harness and lights came back on. If you do find the loose wire, try to remove some of the covering at the end and reinsert into the plug. It might work again.
