Default Brake Lights aren't working

I don't know what the damn problem is. I installed the stock GSR Spoiler back on today and re-wired the 2 wires from the Spoiler LED light. After that, I checked if the 3rd brake light was workin or not by pressing the brakes, but not only did the LED not work... the whole damn Brake lights weren't working.

Know what the problem might be? The tail lights are working... just not the brake lights when I press the brake in.

Did you check the fuse by chance? I had a similar problem, traced all the wiring from the tail lights back, turned out to be a burnt fuse.

I'm gonna check the fuse tomorrow when it's bright... but in the manual, there wasn't a specific fuse for Brake Lights. Only Liscence Plate light/Tail Light Fuse... and like I said before, the Tail Lights work and come on... just not the brake lights.


Which fuse was burnt out for you? #2?

In my EF hatch (the car with the problem), the fuse was located in the engine compartment fuse box. I'm not sure what number that fuse was. It was a 20 amp I believe. But my tail lights worked also, but my brake lights wouldn't come on when I pressed the brake pedal. I didn't know there was a separate fuse for the brake lights.

I'm pretty sure the stop lamps are the same fuse as the gauge cluster-- either that or the interior lights. Just get a flashlight and check them all.

My Brake lights were the same fuse and my horn. Kinda weird I think. It located under the hood. I think its called stop/horn. BTW it was a 94 integra.

yep. You guys were right.

It was the Stop/Horn fuse under the hood. It's all fixed now. Thanks!
