My brake light won't turn on when I breaks but they turn on when the lights for the care r on. How come and how can I make the lights work?

ur breask switch may be not working or wire is loose....also check ur globes,,,,some globes carry 2 functions.....normal light and brake light,,,,,so i assume you brake light globes need checking

check for incorrect brake light bulbs or tail lights. Some look the same but are different.

SOURCE: No Brake Lights?!?

There is brake light switch located under the dash. It is inserted in a metal bracket that is a part of the brake pedal assembly. When you depress the brake pedal the pedal arm moves away from the brake switch allowing a spring loaded plunger to move out of the switch. As the plunger moves out of the switch a set of contacts close in the switch and turn the brake lights on.

You stated the 10amp under hood brake light fuse is good so check to see if you have power on the "orange" wire at the brake switch with pedal all the way up. Then press the pedal down and you should have power on the " light blue" wire going out of the switch.

We will start there, let me know what you find.

Do you have a trailer harness? If so, your harness has a short in it.
Remove it and throw it away; cheaper to replace it than to repair it.

If not, you have a short in the socket at the brake lamp

There's a switch at the top of your brake pedal. They wear out, chance are that's the problem, easy fix in the driveway.
