Default No tail lights= no car

so yesterday i got in my 93 xj and turned it on and went to turn on my headlights. they didnt turn on but my parking lamps did. but my taillights wouldnt turn on either. i hit the highbeam switch and the highbeams turned on, then i hit the switch again and the headlights stayed on. yes! but now my taillights wont turn on. brake lights work. i changed the bulbs and still nothing. anyone care to shine some light on this subject. thanks.

Default Headlight Switch

Same thing happend to me. Mine started with the Headlight Switch becoming harder and harder to pull out and push in. Eventually I couldn't push it back in and then the lights went out.
My wiring harnes actually melted. I had to get another headlight switch harness pig tail from an Auto Electric garage. The switch itself was easy to get from any auto parts supplier.
Here is a detailed write up from another post.
