Brake lights went out. Turn signals and emergency flashers still work so I don't think it's the fuse. Bulbs are OK. Could it be the brake switch? Kind of scary driving without brake lights, so the car is in the garage until I can sort this out. Thoughts anyone?

The brake switch is at the pedal cluster. Start with the easy stuff. There's two wires attached to the brake switch, simply use a test wire to connect those two wires together temporarily. If that makes the lights work, the switch is bad/corroded.
Also, there are a few variations based on year. Post what year your car is, or do like most people and add that info to your post Signature (via the My Controls link at the top of the page). |
