Anyone know why your brake lights are not working on Renault Laguna 1999 the fuse is fine and the rear window brake light is ok. also the reverse lights are ok too?

Check the brake light switch.


How do you fix the tail lights remaining on after the car is shut down and the rear window brake light not working on a 1994 Toyota Tercel?

If it is the tail lights, it is the headlight switch. If it is the brake lights, it is probably the brake light switch. I really don't know how to replace the bulb in the 3rd light. change the brake light bulb first it may be shorted causeing the other problem


There are 3 sockets with bulbs how do you know which one is the brake light?

With all lights turned off,have someone step on the brake pedal. The bulb that illuminates is the break light bulb.


When vehicle is off the brake light stays on?

=I don't know about the brake lights. I know that most cars, when you turn it off and get out, the head lights and main backlights stays on for a while but then goes off. The brake lights? Maybe it's the way that car is or something is wrong with the brake or you have it on wrong.=


Would anyone know why your transmission isn't coming out of park and the brake lights wont come on but the parking lights on the back and headlights work on a 96 civic dx?

Look at your brake pedal where it connects under the dash. The problems you are having are both related to the brake pedal. There is a safety feature that won't allow you to shift your tranny until you have applied the brake, and since your brake lights are not coming on, there is either an electrical connection or a mechanical connection that is not working.


Brake lights hazards and blinkers aren't working The bulbs flasher and fuses all seem to be good anyone know why the lights don't seem to be working on your 1996 jeep Cherokee sport 2wd?

might have a short in the wiring to the light socket!! same happen to me...


What do you if the brake lights on your 96 Cherokee do not come on when pressing the pedal only the center window brake light and you don't have your owners manual and don't know which fuse to change?

I would check the bulbs in the tail lights first. Your Brake switch is working ,because of the third brake light is coming on.Ususally all the brake lights are on the same fuse.... Thanks DomAnswerCenter window light is on a separate circuit. Manufacturers did that so you don't lose all the brake lights at once. Check connections at brake switch and fuses. If ok look for broken wire in harness...............good luck, Mike


Can you tell me why a 78 ford pickup taillights are not working?

Sure: you don't have a complete electrical circuit to working bulbs. Are the bulbs good? Fuse? Have you checked the ground wire at the taillights? Often on older vehicles the ground connection becomes rusted and the lights will stop working. Have you verified that voltage is present in the tail light wire? Sometimes a faulty connection somewhere between the switch and the tail lights will cause the lights to fail. Have you verified that the headlight switch is functioning properly? While Brake lights are controlled by the brake light switch (part of the brake pedal) and the turn signal switch, tail lights are controlled by the headlight switch. Track down which part isn't working right and then you'll know. BTW, I THINK the tail lights are on the same fuse circuit as the dash lights.


Stuck in park starts but unable to shift?

Fix your brake lights and this problem will go away. Didn't know the brake lights were out did you? May be a fuse or the switch.


My 2002 Toyota corolla brake lights don't work only one side is working and i would like to know how to fix it please?

Try changing the light bulb


Where is the fuse for the brake lights at your brake lights arent working and i don't know what the prob is?

check under the hood of the vehicle...there should be a rectangular or square box with fuses there...there is also one under the dash of the vehicle. If it isn't the fuse check the bulbs... check the switch under the dash where the brake pedal rests in may need adjusting, broken, or just stuck in and not popping out when you apply the brake. Push it in and out severel times and see if the lights come on.


Who do you report a car on the road with no working brake lights or only one brake light?

Ifyou're on the road behind them, get their license plate number and the make, model and color of the car, then call 911 to report them. If it's someone you know, then you can call your local police department or Sheriff's office to report this vehicle. You need to report this vehicle, whether you know the driver or not; you may very well save someone's life. You won't have to give your name, so you can do it anonymously.
