The Integra uses a dual-filament bulb in the tail light, which has one contact for the running light (the lights you turn on at night) and another brighter one for the brake light (only goes on when you press the brake pedal).

You have replaced the bulb with the wrong type. You will need a 2057 bulb for the Integra.

Where is the brake light switch in 2008 Kia Sedona?

I would recommend checking fuses and bulbs first, however the brake light switch is up and under near the brake pedal. If it ends up being a bulb braking the circuit, see sources and related links below.


What fuse controls the brake lights on a 2002 dodge dakotaall lights and turn signals work except no brake lights when brake pedal is pushed?

Something you may not realise is that the brake light bulb is often one bulb with two elements. One of the elements will be for the brake and the other will be for the tail lighting for example so,when tested, the actual bulb will still light up because the second element is unaffected. Make sure that the 'blown' bulb that you are actually changing is not in fact your fog lamp. This will not automatically light up when you test your lights as you have to operate this light separately (similarly to indicator lights). So the fog lamp bulb will appear to be the only one not lit up when you test your lights. Find the bulb with two elements inside and change that one. Sounds obvious (and may be obvious to many) but it's a common mistake. Hope this helps!.

My 2000 2003 jetta lock in park sometimes the epc light is always on does this have something to do with it?

Yes. There is a switch that is located under the dash. When you press on the brake it should make the light go out. If it doesn't, the switch probably needs to be replaced. You can see the switch if you look up to toward the top of the brake's arm. You can remove it by turning it a quarter turn and pulling back and then unplugging it. I had the same problem and replacing the switch solved it.


Why would a 1990 Nissan 200SX parking lights and tail lights stay on when you turn off the ignition?

Probably the rubber bumper/stopper which depresses the brake switch is gone/disintegrated. Check beneath the brake pad for broken pieces. Without this piece in place, the switch is always closed and therefore powered to light up the lights.

Brake lights only come on when you press the pedal. The brake light is either a different bulb or filament in a dual-filament bulb than the tail light.

Why the emergency brake light does not come on when emergency brake is applied?

The light on the dash that says the emergency brake light is on could have burned out if it does not light up when the emergency brake is actually on. In some vehicles, this light will not light up until the car is put into gear to warn the driver that the emergency brake is still on.


How do you turn off your 1994 Mitsubishi Mirage brake light?

TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE!!! If your brake fluid is low the brake light will be on, there is a float inside the brake fluid reservoir, after you fill it up, if the light is still on take the cap bake off of the reservoir and make sure that the float is floating, if it isn't wiggle it around with your finger and it should pop to the top.


2001 Ranger and the Right Rear turn signal is out though the signal light is also the brake light and the brake light works?

Turn Signal Light Doesn't Work, but the Brake Light DoesMost vehicles use a single lamp [bulb] for the tail light, brake light, and turn signal functions.That lamp usually has two filaments: one serves both the tail light and brake light functions while the second filament serves the turn signal function.You description of the issue sounds like the turn signal filament is burned out, while the other filament is not.Another, but less probable cause could be that the conductor [wire] supplying electrical power to the right turn signal filament has either been cut, or corrosion has built up within one of the wiring harness connectors somewhere in that circuit. Corrosion acts to cut off the flow of electricity.
