SOURCE: brake lights dont work

Check the brake light switch, it is down on the brake pedal lever, you can dis-connect the wire connector at the brake light switch and check for broken wires at the connector, and then jumper the connector with a paper clip, if the brake lights come on then replace your brake light switch.

There might be more than one switch attached to the brake light pedal lever, the brake light switch usually only has two wires going to it when there are two switches.

If there is no problem with the brake light switch then you can suspect the turn-signal switch to be at fault, as all of the running lights, turn-signals, brake lights, and hazard lights are all ran through the turn-signal switch. You can also try stepping on the brake pedal and wiggle around the turn-signal switch and see if the brake lights flicker or come on.

Peugeot 308 SW (2008) LH & RH brake lights not working

Was told by a colleague at work following me in that my brake lights were not working. Both side brake lights didn't work but the high level brake light strip at top of rear hatch did. I checked the bulbs but made the mistake in thinking the top most bulbs were the rear lights then next ones down were the rear & brake - as both locations are same dual element bulbs. Based on some forums I thought it might be the brake switch. My mistake...hence this post. The brake & rear light bulbs are the top most bulbs in the clusters, the next bulbs down are the additional rear light only (as the brake element is unused as there is no contact strip in the cluster).

If the LH & RH brake lights don't work but the high level lights do - then it will be the cruel coincidence that both bulbs gone, and unlikely to be the brake switch (which is a dual switch with press to break press to break contacts).

The clue is if all the brake lights don't work, as in the LH & RH and the top strip high level lights then it is most likely the brake switch (which is located in the passenger side below the glove box behind a piece of trim that can be removed by taking out 3 studs. The switch has a green end and the rod of the switch is pushed by a rotating shaft connected to the brake pedal {plenty of info on youtube about this}. The brake switch is available from euro carparts at about £10.

Oh - the LH & RH light clusters locate in to the car's bodywork with 2 pins, and are held in with T30 (torx 30) bolts.

How do i fix the brake lights on my mercury sable. all the other lights work fine

Does your car have the `lamp out'indicator system? It's more complicated.
My manual shows fuse #28 , a 15 amp fuse powers the brake bulbs.Is this the one you changed?
A bulb can be out for a long time and you don't notice it,then the other burns out and you think they both went out at the same time,but they might not have,see?
So check the bulbs and make sure you got that brake switch installed correctly. don-ohio (:^)

2005 Ford Focus- Blinkers, Brake lights and hazards don't work -just change the bulbs and they still don't work. Help!

That should be on two different fuses, but everything goes thru the turn signal switch.
The switch might be faulty. A mechanic would check for voltage there.
