All bulbs have been replaced.
Fuses all check okay.
Brake lamp indicator on dash has gone off.
Horn works.
Are the reverse lights and brake lights somehow connected or is it coincidence that neither are working?

Reverse lights should not be tied to the brake lights.

For the lamp indicator on the dash to go off and they still not work, it's sketch.

90-97 BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH
Genuine Honda replacement part. Fits models without cruise control only.

Mine has cruise control....Dont care about cruise .ya think the above one will work,just wont enable cruise function.the cruise model is 43$

90-97 CRUISE CUTOFF SWITCH
Genuine Honda replacement part. This switch shuts off the cruise control when the brakes are applied.
Part #2836750
Seems im limited to 5 posts per day so ill ask here.
Any idea about the back up lights not working?With the car in reverse I do NOT get power at the wires to the bulbs.All fuses do check okay.Im sure of this unlike I was sure of the pedal switch not working....LOL

Different switch - or should be, I would image the cruise switch is tied to the brake switch, but I can't tell you for sure.

The backup lights are probably related to a sensor for the gear shift to be in reverse, let me see if I can find what I'm talking about.

Check the fuse for the reverse lights - under hood.

Also check the Reverse Relay, should be under hood too. Not a switch like I mentioned a second ago - sorry about that.
