96DropTop · April 2nd, 2007, 11:17 PM

brake lights stopped working, including 3rd brake light. i was told it was most likely the switch on the brake pedal so i replaced it, still nothing! anybody have an idea what's going on here?

If there was a fuse that wen or any kind of surge it could have made all of them be burnt out.

k gotcha

i don't think it's the fuse... who knows i may have checked the wrong one for all i know! highly doubt it's the bulbs since they're all out... i might just go through and check all my fuses, i just hope this has nothing to do with the wiring because i don't know the first thing about wiring!!! all i can say is good thing i own a beater so i can get around still! thanks guys

well i broke down and took it to my buddy's shop... turns out it was just a pinched wire going to the brake pedal switch. probably didn't even need to replace it but oh well, people can see that i'm slowing down now! so i go to pick it up to go cruisin and it starts snowing!!! stupid michigan... IT'S APRIL FOR CRYIN OUT LOUD!!!!!!!!!!

Do you have an automatic? cause mine went out, and he thought it was the shifter button, then that didnt work, n it was the wiring, apprently someone redid the hole wiring system and it was short circuting.
