Take A Brake
Check the STOP HAZ fuse.

If it’s good use a meter to check the brake light switch.

Fog lights are not driving lights. They look doofy. Turn em off slow pokes.

How bout those nervous nellies too scared to drive without headlights on in the daytime or if there is a little rain!

Brake Light, Don’t Slam Them
The brake light switch is behind the brake pedal in the foot well.

If you have cruise control it’s the one WITHOUT the hose.

Re: brake lights stopped working
Turn on your hazard lights. If they work then the fuse is is still good for your brake lights. If the bulbs are good. Then remove the bulb and check the contact in the socket for voltage with the brake depressed. The brake light switch is white and has a threaded portion that mounts to a plate on the front side the pedal. Check for voltage at the light blue wire coming from the switch. Just fixed my lights today. It was a bad switch. Oh and if ur switch is bad be careful when removing it not to damage the little gold piece that holds the switch to the plate. If u break it like I did uses two nuts to hold the switch in place. One on each side
