My brake lights have not been working for 3 months. I have no idea how to fix them. The bulbs have been replaced, wires checked and everything. Are there some sort of fuse for the brake lights? if so where? Thanks a lot.
well you can start by checking the fuse in the engine bay and under the driverside dash. If u look at the cover it should tell you what each fuse controlls
good luck
good luck
did you just get remote start or an alarm put in? if the fuses and wiring checks out, double check the switch at the brake light and make sure the wiring in the back is seeing +12v.

none of your brake lights (either side, 3rd brake light /LED's on wing) don't work?
do your parking lights work when u turn on the parking lights/headlights or are you rolling around at night w/ no rear illumination/lights at all? you might want to check the brake switch... if the wiring and fuses are all good it might be the brake switch itself...
you might want to get a test light or Multimeter and have a friend press on the brake while you test the socket/terminals on the light sockets...
If the fuses, bulbs and wiring are all good I'd think its probably the brake switch... I don't really see how ALL the filaments for the left and right brake AND all the LED's can blow out all at once.. so I'd look into fuses, wiring, socket/contacts and switch... you can also get a friend that has a teg and try your bulbs in their bulb holder socket.. then you know your bulbs are good....
