NO brake lights, fuse ok *solved*
I was at a stoplight and a lady told me I don't have any brake lights and she almost rear ended me. So I checked the fuse under the hood for stp lmps but it was ok. I did just have my vent problem solved at the dealer and I'm wondering if something got shorted but I'm not sure. Is there more than that one fuse under the hood?

I had a similar problem one time and it turned out to be one of the ground wires attached to the rear part of the frame. It is unlikely that all of your tail light bulbs burned out at the same time, but you should check them anyway. Do any of the tail lights work, like the turn signals, or running lights, or is everything completely dead?wamason wrote:Just from what I've read, it seems that the solution to alot of brake lamp problems is the ground located on one of the framerails in the back. Check that first

If the back blinkers work, you only mention brake lights, then it might be the brake switch.
