I have no brake lights. I replaced the bulbs but it has not helped. I have no cover for my fuse box so I don't know which/if I need to change the fuse. What could be the problem?

Hello,

If none of the brake light is working then you probably have a faulty brake light switch.
The brake light switch mounts on the brake pedal bracket and when you depress the pedal it pushes the switch and turns on the lights.
The switch can be replaced with simple hand tools and fairly easily.

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
