i have a 89 crx and my brake lights are not turning on. i checked all the fuses with my fuse tester and they were all perfect. i replaced all the bulbs to make sure none of them were out and that still did not fix it. i replaced my brake light switch and yet that still did not fix the problem. i went ahead and took off the switch and put a paperclip in the actual brake switch plug to run it straight but the brake lights didnt turn on. eerie, any ideas what it can be? please help.

 

anyone that views this and can help. please!

 

I think you've done your best to troubleshoot it. You sure there's power at the plug on the brake filament side?

 

Do you have a multimeter ??? If not goto harbor freight and spend $5 and get one. Otherwise you can scratch your head on this problem for days.

check grounds 511 and 551 (one is below rear latch)

check for open in green/white wire

Had same issue, all fuses where good. In my case it was a bulb in the gauge cluster that some how shorted out the break lights. Not saying thats your problem but worth checking the cluster.
