Brake light switch is generally open or off when plunger is pushed in and closed or on when the plunger is released.

The brake switch is mostly mounted above the brake pedal and adjusted so the plunger is pushed in, in the brake off position and released when the brake pedal has moved down about a half-inch - so the lights illuminate before the brake is actually applied.

SOURCE: fog lights not working

use a test light to check for power do this where you plug in your bulb is no power then trace wires testing in the wires periodically to check for broken wires if everything checks out fine next check the fog light switch.

SOURCE: 2005 Nissan Maxima SE Fog light replacement

jorgeva: on the driver's side to gain access, you must remove the air cleaner assembly. At that point, you can see the back of the light which has a plastic cap. Rotate this "counter clockwise" and you can pull it back from the back of the lamp housing. From there you will see how the bulb it self is plugged in, which is obvious. Unplug it. There is a "spring "like latch retainer to hold the bulb in place. Unlatch it, remove the bulb and install the new bulb.
CAUTION!!!!!!! DO NOT TOUCH THE GLASS AREA OF THE NEW BULB! Only handle the rear section. Reassemble in the reverse order.
The right side will require the removal of the windshield washer tank.
I trust this will have answered your question. If you would, let me or FIXYA know if I have solved your problem......

I have a 2006 Nissan Maxima, and the car won't go out of park unless you activate the Shift lock bypass. When this happens the break inghts don't work. I checked the fuses and have replaced the break

I would check the brake switch & the shift solenoid, if that
applies, that releases the shifter

A wiring diagram is a must, unless your just testing the solenoid

Also there may be some adjustment for the shift linkage

Without the factory manuals & they are on a CD, your at a big
disadvantage,guessing at something you don't know about

Sure need but want to avoid the prices at a dealer

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..

How do I replace tthe bulb for the brake light on a 2005 nissan maxima?

First check the car manual.
I have done this repair myself. First pull back the trunck liner on the taillight needing repair. You will see two long bolts with nuts holding the taillightin place. Using a socket wrinch loosen the nuts completely. Fom the outside the taillight should be loose. grab the edge of the taillight and pull directly backward. Once out, you will see the individual bulb sockets. Replace the bad bulb. Test the lights, then reassemble.

2000 Nissan Maxima. Headlights work but tail lights won't come on. How do you fix the wiring of this?I have changed the bulbs and nothing. The brake, reverse, and turn signal lights work, so the bulbs...

tail lights work on a different filament than the rest of the lights you mentioned, it is possible both bulbs are burned out for that filament. if not, check the fuses as the tail light circuit in some cars is on a seperate fuse. the remaining possibility could be bad socket contacts.

Replace rear tail light bulb on a 2005 nissan maxima

Open the trunk, from the inside remove the side trunk liner (by removing the plastic tabs the liner can be pulled back). Once the liner is pulled back you will need to remove two nuts which secure the tail light in place. Once the two nuts are removed you can start pulling the whole tail light assembly out. There are two other tabs that secure the tail light in place which may give you some resistance but the light should come out without too much force once the two nuts are removed.
Once the tail light is out you can change whatever bulbs you need to.
