Sep 23, 2009 - 97 GMC Jimmy 4x4 blinkers work, reverse lights work, above window ... I just lost hazard lights and rear brake lights, they were working 2 days ... If it is a frayed wire or solder point, then you can repair it, but not any worn contacts. ... Does anyone have any suggestions on 1997 Honda Accord tail & brake lig.

Check bulbs,fuse.

Check the brake light switch on the top of brake pedal, it's most likely the cause.

the break light wire on the lumina runs through the blinker switch or multifunction switch on the colum.. check there as well as at the tail light sockets. on the late 90s gm cars the sockets had a tendancy to rot away... use a test light at the brake light wire in the trunk and have a friend apply the break. if there is power then may have to get new tail lights. or replacement bulbs.

Replace the turn signal switch. The 2 lower brake lights run through this swith but the upper one does not. Let me know if you have any questions. Its not a hard oub if you are fairly mechanical. I expensive to have a dealer do. The part new is about $65.00.

test and replace the brake light switch, it is located at the top of the arm the brake pedal is attached to.

first of all do you have a third brake light and does it work???? you could have a bad brake light switch turn on the head lights check all rear lamps then put on the 4 way flashers and check the bulbs the ones that dont light should be the brake lights or replace the tail lights they should be double fillament

The ground wire in the trunk area, coming from the brake light harness, might have come off or really loose. Hope this will get your lights working again. Best wishes.

i would check the bulbs first. then continue to the brake switch
