When brakes are applied the top center brake light works, lower two don't. All other rear lights and signals work. Same fuses for upper & lower brake lights, bulbs are good and checked sockets with meter - commons are connected and no voltage when brakes are on. What's the problem?

Hello, There is a #1, 3, and 6 fuses that needs to be checked. Here is a guide to help you confirm the failure.

Also here is the brake light wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works.

Check out the diagrams (Below)

Please let us know what happens.
