The "Lamp Light" on my 2001 Honda Odyssey came on. The tail lights, turn signals, and emergency flashers are all working, but not the brake lights. I replaced the Brake switch, located by the brake petal, but it didn't fix the problem. I checked all fuses and there doesn't appear to be a problem there either.

At the rear of the brake lights, one of them, the driver ' s side, there is a "chip" that check the lightbulbs, so this could have gone back and you can by-pass the bad wire. You have to take out the brake light assembly to see it.

SOURCE: 2001 Honda Odyssey Transmission Problem

My Honda Odyssey 2001 transmission died last week. I had the car towed to a Honda Dealer. After giving my VIN # to the dealer, they replaced my transmission at no cost because it fell within the 7 year, 100 K mile extended warranty Honda was giving due to the class action suit on Honda Odyssey transmissions of the specified years 1999-2003 I believe. I paid nothing and I have a new transmission!

open the rear hatch. Between the tail light housing and the rear hatch opening there is a trim strip with two flush fitted flap doors. Insert a small straight blade screwdriver into the small slot on the tail light side of the flap. Pry gently inboard and the small flap will open (the hinge side of the flap is on the side of the rear hatch opening.) Now you can remove the screws that hold the tail lamp assembly in place. Finally, there is still a "spear point" clip that fits into a socket near the front outboard corner of the assembly. Gently pry with a tape wrapped screwdriver (avoids scratches) and force the assembly straight back. The clip should release and free the assembly so you can change the bulb(s).

SOURCE: 1991 honda civic brake light stays on need to push brake pedal to

Sounds like you might have a caliper that is stuck and is not fully disengaging. If it is in the rear then you may have a bad rear caliper. Twoo things you can try. One is to crawl under the ca and adjust the tension two nuts on the emergency brake line. If that does not resolve the problem then remove the back tire and try to spin the drum or rotor whichever you may have. If it does not spin then try adjusting the e brake cable more if it still does not respond then you need to do a brake rebuild. Also does it pull while it is dragging? If it is then you will need to rebuild the brakes no matter what.

SOURCE: emergency brake adjustment 2000 Honda Odyssey

on the back side of the wheel, there is a thin metal plate. on this plate, there is a rubber plug in a fairly small hole. remove the plug, and just inside, there should be the teeth of an adjuster start wheel visible. turn the star wheel until the drum is tight on the shoes. then, turn the start wheel back, approximately 10 teeth. test and repeat as necessary.

Have a 2001 Cadillac DHS, no brake lights, cannot find the exact fuse location. Shud be under rear seat but none are listed as BRAKE LIGHTS

What's a DHS ?
Stop Lamps

The STOP LP fuse in the rear fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to the normally open stop lamp switch. When the brake pedal is pressed, the stop lamp switch contacts close and battery positive voltage is supplied to the center high mounted stop lamp (CHMSL) and the turn signal/hazard flasher module stop lamp switch signal input. In response to this input the turn signal/hazard flasher module supplies battery positive voltage to the left and right LED tail lamp assemblies. The CHMSL and left tail lamp have ground at G402. The right tail lamp has ground at G401. The stop lamps illuminate when they receive both power and ground.

The left blinker on my 05 Honda stops blinking when brake is pressed. When right blinker is on, the flashers come on. HELP????

This is a common problem check the ground on that tail lamp assembly as you step on the brake the power sent to the bulb can not find ground and is returning thru the turn signal bulb so 2 positive sources keep the bulb out.

Brake and ALL rear lights not working in 2003 Honda Odyssey.

It would be very unusual if all of the bulbs died at the same time. Generally speaking, each circuit is on a different fuse, but they all use the same ground. So you would have a fuse for the turn signals, a fuse for the tail lamps, and so on. You should be able to test for power and ground at the sockets for each circuit. And if the front parking lights work the rear should have power too.
You may need a repair manual with wiring diagrams to be able to troubleshoot it.

Brake Lamp light came on

This indicated that you have a brake lamp that isn't working correctly.
best way to find out which light it is, is to locate all brake lamps in the back of your car.
Have someone press on the brakes as you(or someone else) locates the brake light that doesn't turn on.
Additional information: 2001 honda odyssey brake light bulb code is 7440 can be found at autozone,NAPA,ect.

Brake lights only show on center 3rd high stop tail lamp

Yes, the flasher does interrupt the brake signal. you do know that this is a push on, push off switch. Some try to pull this switch to turn off flashers, but, it has to be pushed again to turn off.

Brake lights quit working

Tail lights acting insane?

We had the same issue with our 2000 Pontiac Montana. Brake lights, turn signal lights, running lights, back-up lights and emergency flasher didn’t work at all or operated at random. The cause: poorly designed aluminum contacts on the tail light circuit board and wiring harness connector arced over and disintegrated with normal use.

Pull the tail lamp assembly, remove the electrical connector and look for burned contacts on the connector plug and the connector socket (they call this long plastic piece with the socket the circuit board: it includes the four bulb sockets. Replace the circuit board and the wiring connector.

You can DIY this job with basic auto mechanical/electrical skills and tools. The two circuit boards and the two connectors set me back $230 (2009 cost) for new parts. The electrical contacts on the factory replacement parts are improved.

I needed a T-30 torx driver to remove the tail light assembly (you need this to change out bulbs, too), wire cutters, wire strippers, electrical tape and an electrical lug crimper to do the job.
