If neither one is working, the first thing to check is your fuse. If the fuse is okay, replace the bulbs and if that doesn't work, it's probably the brake light switch. The switch is the least likely culprit though because they rarely go bad.
May be stop light switch--usually located at the upper end of the brake pedal under dash
If you have the same bulb for brake and signal, brake light power needs to be interrupted by the signal lights, The brake circuit has to go through the signal light switch so the problem could be there.
Have an electrician check the wiring that goes to the brake lights in the trunk of the car.
Have you checked the bulbs themselves? The directional signal should be the same element as the brake light. Check to see if you rear directional signals.
theres a pressure switch just above brake pedal under the dash probably bad
Replace the fuses if they go out its a short. Good luck finding that
YES!
ummm... your brake lights should ALWAYS work whether your headlights are on or not, that's how people behind you know you are stopping.
Fuse 7 controls the brake lights. It should be a red 10amp fuse.
Please check the Brake light switch....The brake light switch should be located near or on the brake pedal (up on the stem of the brake pedal)
my back brake lights don't work, but the brake light on the back door does what could be wrong
If the bulb will not work the fuses under the dash should be checked. When these fuse fail the brake lights will not turn on.
The brake lights and the tail lights are separate circuits. Check the brake light fuse, then check the brake light bulbs, then check the brake light switch.
Blinkers can work without brake lights. Brake lights are activated by a switch that is switched by the brake petal and the turn signals are acivated by your turn signal switch on your steering column. The two are two separate circuits. I suggest you check out the switch on your brake pedal to see if it is working properly. It must have 12 volts applied to one side when it is not acitvated and 12 volts should be on both sides when it is activated. When the 12 volts is on both sides of the brake switch, it should apply 12 volts to your brake lights and then they should come on.
The most likely cause is a bad brake light switch (if none of the brake lights illuminate) but if its only one of the brake lights, try changing the bulb. Even if they still work as running or turn lights because they have a double filament and may still work partially, but not as brake lights.
After fuse (should be labeled) Try bulbs and defective stop light switch
change the brake lights check the fuse check the brake light swtch
