Could be a short in one of the bulbs. Replace bulbs and fuses, should fix the problem.

Could be a number of problems. First, check and make sure the bulbs are not blown, that is if the brake lights and tail lights are the same bulbs. If it's not that, check the fuses for the tail lights/driving lights. From there, it could be a problem with the switch or wiring.

1993 Nissan Maxima - The brake lights no longer come on - the fuses and the switches check out okay. What else could be the problem? Really hope you can help. Thanks, Maureen

test the wires that come from the break pedal, to the break light, it might be a break in one of the wires. or you might just need to replace the light bulb..

Leaks radiator fluid and fans dont turn on

make sure u have enough antifreeze (coolant ) in the resovoir and bleed all the air out of system. do this by;letting engine run till good and warm no t over hot,then stop engine (make sure resovoir is full or a little over full)leave for about 35 to 40 minutes and see if coollant level has droped(it should this is normal) refill and repeat proscess over and over untill the coolant level stops ,u will notice it will take longer and longer for engine to warm up this is also normal then start engine and watch temp ,so it dont over heat,wait for fans to come on if they dont try a coolnt sensor and repeat this over again/thermastat is also some thing u can change(may be when u change coolant sensor/check fan relays and fuses before proceeding with all these remidies
