the problem is most likely in the tilt of your steering colum....try tilting your steering wheel up some....the bulb is a 3157
it could be your brake light switch,or the fuse could be blown ,or the bulbs could be blown.or it could also be the turn signal switch.
If the brake lights stay on that probably means the switch on the brake pedal that activates them is defective.
The brake light switch has failed
faulty brake switch
The most common cause for brake lights to be out on a 2001 Mustang GT is a blown bulb. There are some instances where there is faulty wiring.
check fuses, check brake light switch behind brake pedal.
It is not necessarily the fuse. It could be the switch on the brake that is not closing the circuit.
They are burned out.
check the multi function switch. I hava a 96 Chevy Monte Carlo and I had the same problem . I changed the multi function switch and the brakes lights now work. the rear brake lights run thru the switch on the turn signal circuit. try it and see.
dodge 2001 Dakota brake lights won't burn Check the fuses. If the fuses are okay check the brake light switch.
It doesn't have one !!!!
Check the brake light switch. This can cause the brake lights to go out. There have been a couple of recalls on the 2001 for this exact problem. Contact your local VW dealer and have the switch replaced.
