Brake lights won't turn on

When I push down on my brake pedal, the brake lights don't come on. I checked the fuses and bulbs, everything looks fine. When I turn on the hazards, the lights come on just fine. 2006 Honda Accord, any ideas??

Hello

Have you tried looking at the wiring?

The first thing to check is the third-brake light. If it too is not working, the brake-light switch, a bad fuse or an unplugged harness is likely.

Re: Brake lights won't turn on

I have an older Toyota Camry (99) also besides my Accord and they are famous for breaking the wires inside the trunk lid. I had to add some butt joints for under $2 and everything is working great now. If she has or knows someone with a multi meter, that would be my next step to see if she has power to the bulbs each separately.
