brake lights not working
 

hi this might be a really stupid question, but i cant figure this out and i wanted to see if anyone knew some things about it and could give me a few tips before i take it to a shop...

ive checked the fuses, the wiring and cant see anything wrong...my running lights are working and my signals are working aswell...but not my brake lights...

any input would be great..

thanks

try your horn, if it doesnt work.. you've blowen a fuse..

does the tail light bulb with brake light in one light up?
also you can try hooking up a multi meter and get somebody to press the brake...

The brake pedal itself has a switch. It could be faulty.

yes all bulbs light up when i turn running lights on...

well i dont have a horn in the first place..but ive checked all the fuses and they are all ok

under the hood fuses?

just checked under the hood fuses...and there is one 40A fuse that looks to me like it is blown...

that the fuse under the hood controls the brake lights happened to me before i think it was a a 20 A one

No brake lights and no horn? Safety first.

if you have blown a fuse, you've got other problems. replacing the fuse won't make the reason you blew the fuse in the first place go away. check for leaking water around your tail light gasket. inspect the rear light sockets, sometimes they're really corroded as well.

no fuses were blown...ive checked all the connections and wiring...i cant find anything wrong with it..anyone know alot about this kind of thing that could help me out??

sorry i re read the thread

cant help u :S

have you pulled the bulbs out? is there anything else in the car that doesn't work? have you checked the ground wire in the back for corrosion? (usually a wire connected to the car body around the rear hatch or behind the rear bumper)
