Brake lights no longer working....

[ram360]

So I found out yesterday my brake lights all of a sudden stopped working. Everything else is still fine, taillights, turn signals, etc... Sound like a fuse? If it is, anyone have a location? Not sure if it's that or possibly the switch on the brake pedal itself. Thanks guys.

f2.33 15 amp. only circuit on that fuse. ck f2.41 15 amp
as well since it runs through the multifunction switch.

were the fuses blown?

the same thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago and it was just a blown fuse under the dash

glad you found the problem. Fuses don't just blow by themselves, they blow due to excessive amperage draw. i.e. short to ground, incorrect bulb being used, etc.

no, the fuses were fine. My brake light switch was bad. $8 and 5 min to swap it out.
