My brake lights will not turn on when I press the brake. The brake lights turn on when the headlights are turned on, but the brake lights will not glow when I press the brake peddle down. I am draving a 2002 Ford Explorer XLT V6 with 88k miles standard engine no modifications. Past repair history= the only repair I have had to make was a window switch that wouldnt operate correctly on the left drivers side window other than that the car has been great.

Try checking the fuse, then the stop light switch at the brake pedal.

Where is the fuse that controls the brake lights. Brake lights not working when brake pressed. The brake lights will come on when the head lights are turned on.
