Re: Brake lights (NA EG6)

Re: Brake lights (NA EG6)
ya, def a switch, fuse, or wire....sorry, it's kind of hard to trace after that...you have to follow wires, look for breaks..
EDIT:
Wait, do they come on when u turn ur headlights on?

Re: Brake lights (NA EG6)
bust out a light tester, pull the brake light bulb and test the conector for power..... if your geting power then its not a fuse problem 
just bad bulbs..........
ive had it happen before believe it or not! in my truck when i bought it all the rear lights seemed to be blown! even 3rd brake, and even the 2 cargo lights!
it was insain!
just bust out your test tight again :D
and if youve done any kind of modifications lately check those! could be a wire crushed, cut, shorted out....
