Good evening,

No, that circuit only uses a 15 amp fuse. Do not install a larger fuse.

Ya, I just replaced it with a new one that the same as the one I took out. I’m still not getting any brake lights.

Okay, Did you test for power at the fuse with a test light or voltmeter?

You need to start there and then go to the switch on the pedal.
