Check the bulbs, if o/k check the wiring to it
The brake lights are accessed through the rear hatch. Find the panel on the rear sides of the car. Pop out the panel and access the brake lights. Replace the bulbs.
Check for a blown brake light fuse ( in the fuse panel ) or the brake light switch at the brake pedal could be the problem. The brake light switch releases the shifter lock as well as operating the brake lights.
Look behind a panel in the trunk
Usually through the back panel in the trunk
In a 1981 Corvette, the fuse for the brake lights is typically located in the fuse panel under the dashboard on the driver's side. It is usually a 15-amp fuse, often labeled specifically for the brake lights. Always consult the owner's manual or the fuse panel cover for precise details, as designs may vary. If the brake lights are not functioning, checking this fuse should be one of the first troubleshooting steps.
To replace the brake lights in the brake bar of a 2006 Cadillac DTS, first, open the trunk and remove the access panel or cover on the side of the brake light assembly. Next, twist the bulb socket counterclockwise to remove it, then take out the old bulb and replace it with a new one. Reinsert the socket back into the assembly, ensuring it locks into place, and finally, replace the access panel. Test the brake lights to confirm they are functioning properly.
the fuse panel on my 98 is on the left end of the dash. open the door to see it. my brake lights stopped working but did not blow the fuse. had to change the brake switch located on the brake pedal. good luck
The brake switch on an Acura RSX is typically located above the brake pedal, mounted on the brake pedal assembly. To access it, you may need to remove the lower dash panel. This switch is responsible for activating the brake lights and is crucial for the vehicle's electrical system. If you're experiencing issues with your brake lights, checking this switch is a good first step.
You probably need to replace your brake light switch. It's near the top of the brake assembly, beyond a trim panel. The fact that all three brake lights don't work rules out problems in the multifunction switch (the cause of similar problems affecting only the two rear lights.)
Check the fuses and the bulbs.
Panel lights and parking/tail lights should be on 1 circuit Brake lights should be on a separate circuit If you are sure fuses are good- Check bulbs Check headlight switch Check stoplight switch
The brake indicator light tests continuity to your brake lights and activates if continuity is broken. This means one of the bulbs is out or there is a problem in the wiring to the lights. The light also comes on when you start your car and stays on for a few seconds along with the flashing "check" signal on your dash. If you wait or push the check button above your rear view mirror the lights should go out. If the brake indicator light doesnt go out check your brake lights and make repairs if necessary. The light should function correctly after the bulb is replaced or wiring is repaired. If not you may have a malfunction in your active check control system wich is behind the panel of lights above your mirror.
