What could be wrong if your brake lights don't work on a 1998 s-10 and the bulbs are new?

your fuse is proble blown If the turn signals work then that tells me that the power and wires are good back to the bulbs but you need to check the brake light switch which is located near the brake pedal under dash. Use a 12V circuit tester here to see if there is power going thru it. This may be your problem. I hope this helps you. Mark

What could cause the rear brake lights to melt on a 2003 Pontiac Sunfire?
Probably the wrong bulbs or the brake lights are getting stuck "on". Or maybe a combination of the two. Check that you have the right bulbs and check to make sure something isn't keeping the brake lights on. FriPilot

If all the fuses and bulbs are new and work properly, the lights could be malfunctioning due to a short in the wiring. The wiring may also be damaged or burned out in places.

Why do you have no brake lights when applying brakes?
Because something's wrong, of course. What it could be... bad switch, break/short in the wiring, bad fuse or relay, or even just bad bulbs.. chances are, your car uses dual filament bulbs for the brake lights, where they'll function as both marker lights (with one filament active) and brake lights (with both filaments energized).

What could cause the brake-lights on a 1990 Volvo to work with the headlights off but not to work when the headlights are turned on?
They are either the wrong bulbs or one of the filaments is burned out. The bulbs should have two filaments. One is illuminated when the lights are on. The other is brighter when the brakes are used.
If 1992 Ford Ranger brake lights do not work and bulbs and fuses are OK what else could be wrong?
Check the switch that is attached to the brake pedal. There are at least two possibilities that come to mind. 1) You could have broken or frayed wires leading to the brake lights, which are preventing current from getting to the bulbs. 2) The brake light switch, (located under the dash, by the brake pedal assembly) may be bad. When you step on the brake, the lever the pedal is attached to pushes a small switch, which sends current to the brake lights. Hope this helps.
What could possibly be wrong you have a 1999 excel 3 you have no rear brake lights all fuses are fine you turn all lights on the work but no brake lights what could possibly be wrong?
Check to see that the wiring is still in good shape and that they are all connected. As my previous car aged, this was a problem. Also, check the bulbs and their sockets. Sometimes they are dirty or no longer seat probably.
