Why does my brake light keep blowing out?
Checked continuity from fuse holder to the brake light switch, no broken wiring. What else could be causing this? I cant drive around much longer with no brake lights!
What happens if the fuse on the brake light fails?
Each part of the car’s electrical system corresponds to a fuse, which protects it from amperage overload; if one electrical component blows out, the rest of the car doesn’t get fried. If the fuse fails, electricity can’t reach the lights, which may be in fine working order otherwise.
What causes a fuse to blow on a breaker?
Usually, a fuse blows because the load has less resistance than expected, so more current flows than the fuse permits. The problem is not “before” the fuse, else some fuse/breaker upstream would open instead. The problem is “after” or downstream from your fuse.
Where do I get Fuse for brake lights?
Using your car’s manual, locate the fuse that correlates to the brake lights. You’ll need a connect test light for the next step (you can get one at any auto parts store.)

Why are all three brake lights not working?
If none of your three brake lights is working, it’s doubtful that all of the individual bulbs have burned out. It’s far more likely you have an electrical system problem. It may sound complicated and expensive, but don’t worry. Odds are the electrical system trouble is nothing more than a failed brake light system fuse.
