Are brake lights and reverse lights the same?
The brake and turn signal share the same wire and bulb for each side so this doesn’t make sense. All the rear lights share the same ground so if the rear ground was lost the brake light could find ground though the parking light circuit but the reverse light would not light up.
What is the color of reverse light?
white
They are used to warn other vehicles and people around the car that the vehicle is about to move backwards. The reverse lights also provide some illumination when the car is backing up. Reverse lights on a vehicle must be white in color, and these come standard on all vehicles.
Where are the brake lights and left side turn signals?
Your brake lights and turn signals for each side are on one circuit. The left side turn signal and brake light is generally the yellow wire going into your trailer connector.

Why do the brake and reverse lights come on together?
All the rear lights share the same ground so if the rear ground was lost the brake light could find ground though the parking light circuit but the reverse light would not light up. The factory supplied kits were referred to as “Mopar accessory” kits, these wiring kits use inline connectors near the tail lights, no cutting and splicing.
Why does my brake light and turn signal switch not work?
Without knowing exactly what wiring work was performed its nearly impossible to say definitively what the issue is. The brake light circuit and the turn signal circuit have crossed paths somewhere. The wires carrying the power supply from the turn signal switch is connected or touching the brake wires.
What to do when your brake lights are not working?
