I discovered on my 69 Chevy truck that the tail lights do not work. Would this be more of a fuse issue then both bulbs going out?

Re: No tail lights, the brake light and turn signals do work
trace the brown wire at tail lights forward. There's a connection on driver side just behind rear axle.
It could be a broken wire or bad headlight switch or many other possibilities wire colors at back; brown-tail yellow-left turn dark green-right turn light green-back up left and right turn are also respective brake light wires has someone wired up for trailer lights? I see so many times they use scotch locks and they just invite corrosion into wire

On my truck it is the same fuse for stop and tail lights, so if the stop lights work, the fuse is good.

Re: No tail lights, the brake light and turn signals do work
Mine had the exact issue, traced to the taillight wires that the PO spliced a trailer hookup to and did a super crappy job, using electrical tape and just twisted the wires together. The brown one was rubbing/shorting on the frame.
