My 06 Elantra's brake lights won't come on. Bulbs and fuses seem to be fine, I have heard the problem may be a brake sensor switch. Where do I find this and what other fixes would you recommend trying?

To keep it simple u might check the brake light switch on the brake pedal. It is most likely bad or it might be misadjusted. If u knnow how to use a test light see if it has power and if circuit is complete when pedal is pressed down.
If there are no brake lights period the check the stop switch (brake light switch)
This is attached to the upper part of the brake pedal itself. Should be a little wire off of it. When that goes bad the brake lights will not work at all.
Please note that the fuse for "brakes" is ABS only and has no bearing on the brake lights themselves working.
I doubt it’s the fuse. Usually the fuse for the brake lights is also the fuse for something else, so you would have more than just the brake lights out. If you’re sure the bulbs are good, it would more likely be the stop light switch. It should be in a position where the brake pedal actuates it. If you want to check the fuses, their location is covered in the owners manual.
