So a buddy if mine has a 2000 Civic SI, not sure if model matters but the brake lights are not working. Looking for anyone with electrical skills or know of any reputable shops worth taking the vehicle into.

 

Pull the bulb and see if you have power. It's not too uncommon for all the brake bulbs to burn out. If no power available to the bulbs, try power at the brake switch. If power at the brake switch, then a connector is disconnected or a wire has rubbed open.

With almost 2k posts, I assume you post enough in the tech forums to know a simple thing like that.

Enjoy your free info, I'd normally charge diag if the bulbs were not burned out.
