I got a 2001 that dosen't have brake lights on the rear of the car. The one in the window in the back of the car works but the other two don't. I had someone tell me that it could be the brake pedal switch that is bad. I was just wodering what any of you thought and how hard would this job be to change it myself.

 

could be that switch, or bulbs burned out, or fuse. switch is mounted on brake pedal, hardest part is gettin to it

 

I would rule out the switch since the 3rd brake light works. Start with the bulbs as they are the easiest (and cheapest) to replace.

 

i tried all the easy stuff first. the fuse was good and i went out and bought new bulbs i that didn't take care of it. is there another fuse for the brake lights besides the one on the driver side in that panel. if not is there a place online that i can get step by step instructions to change that brake light switch. i know a manual would be the best thing but last time i was looking for one for a newer model car i couldn't find one.
