Default brake lights stopped working....

the brake lights on my 92 hb si stopped working. i think it's an electrical problem because i checked the fuses, and changed the bulbs. when i turn on my lights, only the driver side turns on, but when i press on the brakes, the second part of the bulb won't turn on. the passenger side is totally dead. also, the brake light on my spoiler no longer turns on when i press on the brakes. when i took out the bulb on my passenger side light, there's a bunch of rust on there, although i don't know if that's the cause since my driver side and spoiler lights don't work...

does anyone know how i can check if the wiring is faulty, or how i could fix it myself? i don't wanna take it into a shop and pay 200 something dollars....

thanks in advance.

does your horn work? if not check the fuse under the hood. brake lights and horn run off the same fuse.

Default Re: brake lights stopped working.... (=Gameover=)

just went outside to go honk my horn...and it works. since it's night time, i went to go look at it again...when i turn on the lights, my driver side brake light, and the 2 inner lights by the license plate turn on, but the brake light on the passenger side is totally dead. again my brake lights don't turn on or get brighter when i press on the brakes.

i dunno i think it's kinda wierd...
