Check fuses and bulbs first.
check fuses then check all the bulbs, then check the turn signal switch the brake lights work through it
There is no switch to activate or deactivate the brake lights on a 1988 Nissan. The brake lights automatically turn on any time the brakes are pressed.

Under the dash, on the brake pedal arm mounting bracket.
u need to replace flasher can in your vehicle This could happen if flasher had hazzard flasher "on" and could be broken so it will not turn off. (I assume center brake light still works) if so, need new flasher switch in steering colum or find a way to rewire brake lights from brake light switch to rear lights. This is just a guess. Be sure brake light switch is OK.
under the dash about 6inches above the brake pedal under the dash about 6 inches above the brake pedal
Do you mean What does it mean when the brake and battery lights come on in when it is already started? Check your alternator may be its not working well it cause the battery sign comes out.
shooting it will only brake it more...i suggest pushing the button
I'm not sure why the front turn signals would work but not the back, however I had a similar problem and had to replace the two relay fuses on the firewall just behind the fuse box. These will look differant than the regular fuses. They are aprox. one inch in diamiter squared and one is one in. long, the other is one and onehalf in. long. Good luck!
Answerpull the bulbs on the left and make sure they are not in with the tits in the wrong position. That is lower teet in the upper slot of the socket.
Check the bulbs - they are double filamented smaller for brake lights and larger for tailights. Check sockets for power and ground
Look under the dash on the driver's side, half way down the brake pedal. When you depress the brake pedal, the pedal moves away from this switch, which allows the brake light pedal circuit to complete, and your brake lights come on. This brake light switch is always hot/on, as required by federal law, so that even with no key in the ignition, if you hit your brake pedal, the brake lights will come on.
