Default brake light problem....please help

I have a 94 accord. My brake light indicator is on, none of my brake lights work, and i dont hear a relay click when i tap the brake. The brake peddle switch is plugged in. the hanynes manual says that there is a brake light fuse but it is not in either fuse box. i also looked at the electrical diagram for the brake light circuit and there is supposedly a fuse in the dash somewhere next to the relay. Can anyone tell me where this fuse or relay is please

Does your horn work? They use the same fuse.

isnt there a separate brake relay for when you tap the brakes?

I don't think they have a relay. Usually if the fuse is good, the brake switch is bad. You can check it with an ohm meter.

If it's an auto, that's the shift interlock solenoid clicking. If it's not clicking now, it's just one more reason to suspect the brake switch.
