    Check the brake switch, it's located on the brake pedal. It's a black box with a red nipple.

      The brake switch shouldnt have anything to do with the tail lights not working

        Maybe you need to clean all the contacts of the brake lights with electric contact cleaner.That solved some problems for me in the past.

          He said his driving lights and turn signals work but not his brake lights. This points to a faulty switch.

            He said he had issues with his taillights which I took to be not brake lights but he did say brake lights so you are correct...not that my statement was untrue, it just was irrelevant :)

              I have the same issue - but my brake lights work. My tail lights are a no go. Fuse is fine, I even replaced the tail light covers, and checked bulbs and cleaned contacts. What else could it be?
