If the high mount brake light works, Replace the turn signal switch. If none of them work, replace the brake switch at the brake pedal.

Look in the socket. Make sure the contacts are nice and
shinny. The lead in the socket can get oxidized over time.

Second thing to check is the fuse box. There is a fuse for brake lights.

Hope it helps out.

How to replace brake lights bulbs. When step on the brake, my window light comes on but the other lights does not come on. The park lights and signal light works, except the brakes lights don't work....

I think your break light bulb is damage and not able to work properly so you need to change it so you can give your vehicle to mechanic to repair break light bulb.

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.

Need to change brake light bulbs on Peugeot 107 is this easy

If both are not working that is a sign that you have some other problem and not burned out filament's in the bulbs bulbs. Try turning on the four way flashers and then off again a few times do the rear lights flash? if so the bulbs are ok. If the brake light still don't work check the bulb socket with a DC volt meter while the rake lights are help on by a helper, if you have voltage then likely the bulbs are the problem. If you still think the bulbs are the problem the way to change them is outlined in the owners manual with diagram's which I do not have.
