shot fuse usually shot fuse usually 1998-2002 Mercedes 230 SLKs had a factory recall on the brake lights in ~2005. The upper brake bulb appears to be burnt out, but it is really the plastic in the light assembly heating up and warping so that the electrical contact of the bulb is lost. The entire light assembly must be replaced. Mercedes re-imbursed the previous bills for three replaced tail light assemblies on my 1999 230 SLK.
burnt out lightbulb!
If none of the brake lights are working i would suspect the brake switch at the brake pedal.
if turn signals are working , and brake lights not working, i would replace the stop light switch on the brake pedal
The BOO (Brake On/Off) Switch may need to be replaced. If it is bad, it would cause the brake lights to NOT illuminate when the brake pedal is applied.
That the lights need fixing maybe?? That the lights need fixing maybe??
Check your brake lights and see if they are working. Ford has it so if your brake lights are out you can not shift out of park.
Check your brake light switch at hte brake pedal.
The brake lights and tail lights are separate wiring systems. Even some of the bulbs may have two separate bulbs in the same glass housing. If the bulbs are in fact working, then the next step would be to test the brake switch under the dash. When you depress the brake pedal the switch is pushed creating a connection to turn on the brake lights.
Check the bulbs - they are doubloe filamented with the smaller being for brake/turn signals Check the fuses
Blown fuse, bulb, or bad brake light switch.
Check the bulbs, fuse & brake light switch on the pedal.
If the fuses and bulbs are okay I would blame the signal switch assembly. They call it a multi-function switch these days.
