Long story short. I throw a code 73( miss fire #3) when i apply the footbreak, (lights work) car runs just fine and would go off when you turn on/off the car. The code mysteriously fixed itself but took out my break lights.
Fuses are good, and bulbs are good .
any ideas?

Did you test the fuse and bulbs with a voltmeter, or just a visual inspection? Visual inspections can lie.

Hey, buddy, it's "don't break lights."

Crazy_SI_T

Ya visual inspection.
also since i would know the code would get thrown ive been using downshift with a little e-break to stop, is there and way (i know it sounds dumb) that using the ebreak could have iver road the rear break lights to not work

You own an 11 second car and can't tell the difference between "break" and "brake."

No. ebreak and break lights don't have anything to do with each other. Although, using ebreak like that could ruin your break shoes and your ebreak will give out. Where did you get this idea anyways?

Visual inspection to bulbs will always lie. Those bulbs are made tough. So when they go out, it's just a tiny little gap that you can't even see. You have to test with meter or hook it up directly to battery with wires. Maybe there was a voltage surge that took out both bulbs since they are connected.
