I went into service my car and found out that my brake lights were out. They changed the bulbs, and still didn't work. When I got home I checked the fuses to make sure it wasn't that. Still not working, what else could I try to get them to work?

Hi there,

Check that there is voltage at and flowing through the brake light switch, tis is located at the top of the brake pedal under the dash.

I still am having the problems with the brake lights. I tried your suggestion and that also didn't work. Is there anything else I can try.

Did you have voltage at the switch, and through the switch when activated? Or no voltage at all or voltage through the switch and no lights?

This switch should be on a bracket at the very top of the pedal, facing down, it is a small black switch that is activated as the pedal moves. Have another good look.
