The brake lights have gone out on my car. All the other lights work fine. I replaced the bulbs and brake switch, as well as checked all of the fuses. I was wondering if you could offer any advice on what my next attempt in solving this issue would be.

Have you tested the circuit for power? Start at the input to the brake switch. Then test the output with the pedal depressed. A simpple test light should to the trick.

Thats where Id begin. Just buy a test light. The clip end goes to a ground and the pointer end goes to power. Start at the brake light fuse. Push the pointed end to the top of the fuse, youll notice two test points when you look at fuse. If there is power at both sides of fuse the test light will illuminate. Work your way back from there. Testing wire connections, switch, sockets, and so on
