Brakes lights not working on 2005 Honda Odessey. The bulbs are good. We just changed the brake light switch...unfortunately that was not it. What else could it be?

Have you changed the the bulbs lately? If so you may have inserted the bulbs incorrectly and the electrics are lighting up the wrong element in the bulb. Hope this helps :)
Did u change the bulb w/ the Honda's original BULB?
They have a different type BULB in honda, the amperage and the base contact is different from a regular bulb.
Hope that helps u out!
taah!
you should only have three that show when brakes are applied unless you only have two brake lights and not the third light in the rear windshield if none are showing check each bulb to make sure they are not blown some may seem good but even if one of the two fase bulbs may seem fine one side may be blown and wil cause the lights to not function right
Of course you can make this repair! I'm wondering about the faulty bulb that shorted out all the brake lights...not sure if that's what happened. Your brake light switch is located on the brake pedal, up above where your foot goes. It has a plug in connector which you unplug, then loosen the locknut where it attaches to the pedal.Put in the new switch, lock nut 1st, then plug it in. Note that the locknut is the adjustment point that determines when your brake lights go on. Adjust the locknut so that the brake lights go on when the pedal is depressed within 1/2 an inch (13mm)of pushing down on it. If the switch is adjusted without enough play (say 1/8 inch or less), brake lights may flicker on and off when you go over a bump.If over 1/2 inch, brake lights might go on only if great force on pedal is used (or not at all, yikes!).For good diagrams of parts check out South Bay Honda (hondapartscheap)web site. You enter the year, model, engine, and you can scroll thru tons of parts. If you have any more questions, do not hesitate to post it for me. countrycurt0
Do you know if the brake light bulbs are working? (are the bulbs good?). (the bulbs have two parts, one for brake lights the other for running lights) If the third brake light bulb is working the brake lights should be with good light bulbs.
