Why does only one of my brake lights work?
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.
Can you drive with only one brake light?
No brake lights penalty If you have a single brake light out for example and the police officer is of reasonable mind, they may simply pull you over and give you a verbal warning to get it fixed as soon as possible.
Where is the fuse on the brake light?
You will get the fuse panel under the dashboard and the PDC under the hood. The brake light switch is also to be found under the dashboard and check if its plunger touches the brake pedal arm. Any problem with the fuse box and light switch will affect the brake lights. In case if the fuse is blown, change it with a new one.
Why does my brake light fuse keep blowing out?
If so, the fuse is functional, and the problem most likely is a used-up brake light bulb. If, however, the test light illuminates when the connection is only pressed against one side of the fuse, the fuse is faulty. If the test light fails to light at all, regardless of where it’s connected to the fuse, you definitely need to replace the fuse.
What to do when your brake light has no power?
This portion of the guide is to help you test for power when one, both lower or all three brake lights have no power. Test the Fuses: Use the owners manual or the lid of the fuse panel to find the brake light fuse. Then use a test light to check the fuses for the brake light and BCM fuses and replace if any are blown.
Why are all three brake lights out at the same time?
If all three brake lights are out at the same time, it’s unlikely that the trio of bulbs died simultaneously. In this case, it’s more likely a bad brake light switch. If playback doesn’t begin shortly, try restarting your device.
