Why is my brake lights not working after replacing bulbs?
Blown out light bulbs are the most common reason for why the brake lights not working but the tail lights are.

Why are my brakes lights not working?
If one or more of your brake lights isn't working properly, it could mean one of three things: The brake light system fuse is blown, the brake light bulbs are burned out or the brake light wiring switch is broken. All of these issues are easy to troubleshoot.
Why does my tail light work but not my brake light?
Why is that? The most common reason your brake lights are not working but tail lights do is a bad light bulb. It can also be caused by a blown fuse, bad brake light switch, or issues with the wirings. ... Either one light shines more than the other, or the taillights completely switch off when you press the brakes.
Which fuse controls the brake lights?
The stop lamp fuse is in the left kick panel inside the vehicle. It is a 15amp fuse that powers the stop light switch on the brake pedal. The brake light switch sends power to rear brake lights.
Where is the brake light switch located?
In most cars, the brake light switch is installed right above the brake pedal. Inside, it has a one- or two-way electric switch.
Is the brake light and tail light the same bulb?
On many vehicles, the tail lights and brake lights share the same bulb. One filament inside the bulb is for the tail light and the other filament is for the brake light. There are also some vehicles that have a separate bulb for each circuit.
How do you check a brake switch?
Place the sensor on just one of the two wires and hold the brake pedal down as you do so. Then test the other wire. If power is connected and the switch is working properly, the test bulbs will illuminate. If it doesn't light up, the brake light switch is faulty and will need to be replaced.
Why do my brake lights only work sometimes?
Brake light problems can include a socket whose connections are dirty or corroded, or one whose wiring has become worn to the point where it's only making an intermittent connection. ... If you keep these tips in mind, most brake light problems will be easy to diagnose and fix on your own.
Is there a fuse for each tail light?

Can you fix a brake light switch?
Luckily, this is a very easy, stress free repair. The switch is located right near the tip of your right foot near the brake pedal, so it's easy to access. The switch may actually snap into place without the use of any tools at all. $20-50 dollars should cover the labor costs on most cars.
What is a brake switch circuit?
How Does The Brake Switch Circuit Work? The engine control module (powertrain control module) monitors the voltage on the brake switch circuit (stop light signal circuit). When you depress the brake pedal, voltage is delivered to the “terminal STP” in the ECM circuit through the stop light switch assembly.
