    All three brake lights are out! Help!

    Ok so I've replaced the bulbs and the fuse but I still can't get the brake lights to work. Does anyone have some suggestions I can try?

    There is a switch on the brake pedal for the lights that can go bad and *I think* on the late models there is a relay in the trunk. I cant confirm on the relay because I am not near my bentely.
    Im now E30less.

        The relay in the trunk caused mine to go bad. However if the thing in the trunk goes bad you lose all of your rear lights. So i would assume its the brake light switch on the brake.

            The switch was it! I replaced the switch this weekend and my brake lights are back!

            Thanks everyone!
