Taillights or brake lights?

Cooked headlight switch would be my guess.

lights

bend the socket locks. dodge truck bulb sockets tend to loosen up and quit making contact. put test light in socket and check for power. if you have power you aren't making good contacted. i have repaired quite a few trucks with this problem.

if that does not work look at the brake pedal arm coming down the switch is mounted up under the dash easy to replace but might have broke .
