Default 99 hatch civic. No brake lights or reverse.

My horn works, my parking lights work, checked fuses but my brake lights don't work or my reverse lights.

Any insight?

Taillights work?

Check the two rear ground wires.

Check the service manual for G601 & G761.

Ok I traced all my grounds starting back to front and found my issue being the floor harness ground by the driver seat.

G552 has nothing to do with the backup or brake lights.

Idk but I cleaned and sanded g551 and g552 and it fixed it. Before that I x2 messed with g601 with no luck. I should add that I have an EX floor harness and power mirror and Windows.

I'm just saying that G551 and G552 have zero to do with those lights, even for the EX. Cleaning those two grounds is just a coincidence with regard to the lights now working.
