No brake lights??

[downforce22]

I was told I do not have any brake lights. My brake light check light usually turns on until I hit the brakes and then goes out and would come on occasionally. I assumed that is what was happening recently until I was told my brake lights were out. I would go to the store and buy new bulbs but I do not think that is the problem.

I checked fuse 6 and it is fine. I switched the bulbs and that did nothing. The thing that leads me to believe it is not a bulb problem is that the third brake light is out as well.

Any ideas?

Check the switch itself, ended up being the problem on my car. it was seized. so the brake lights wouldnt come on, and would illuminate the check light.

Yes, chech the brake switch, it is located at the brake pedal assembley. 10 min job to change it.
Mine was faulty as well (no lights)...I had to take it appart and clean it...works for now. I have spare, just in case.

Yep, brake switch. I cleaned mine and it worked for a few months until gave up again. My new one has been working just fine after that.
