Brake Light Troubleshooting (check in this order):

  • Check Fuse
  • Check Bulbs
  • Check switch on brake pedal
  • Check license plate light bulb and wiring
  • Check Towing Harness Wires
  • Check all wiring harnesses and wiring for shorts

Most likely its the fuse or a burnt bulb breaking the circuit. See sources and related links below for bulb information. Sometimes the license plate and/or the trailer hitch is wired into other circuits and can cause issues in other areas. Sometimes its wires grounding out somewhere on the vehicle. See sources and related links below for bulb information. See owner's manual for location and identification of fuses.

you have bad contact in ground cable of the brake lights You might also like to check that there has not been a bulb replacement lately that uses a single contact in a double contact socket. This would have the effect of shorting the brake and tail light inputs and thus turn on ALL lights when brakes are applied or the parking lights turned on.
