I just bought a 2000 Honda Accord 2dr V6... I am also having a brake light issue.. all of the lights work... including the rear window brake light... but the other brake lights are not working. Replaced the bulbs and the fuse under the hood. Still nothing. Any suggestions??

 

Just so I'm clear, you turn on the headlights and the rear "running lights" do not come on. You can press the brake pedal, with and without the headlights on, and the brake lights work......yes/no?

Edit: I moved this to a thread of its own as your car is different and sounds like a different issue than the one you posted in. Also....welcome to HAF

 

Thank you Poorman for responding... sorry it took so long for me to get back on.. the lights come on when the headlights and running lights are on... they just dont come on when I push the brake pedal... however, the 3rd brake light does.????

 

also brakelamp light is on in dash display

 

Just trying to rule out the bulbs, were the replacement bulbs, "3057 bulbs"? The bulbs are dual filament instead of single filament.

 

And I want to ask one as well - Is the clock inside the car working, trying to rule out a fuse.

 

yes to both... replaced the bulbs with 3057's dual filament and replaced the fuse under the hood.. but clock has worked all along

 

Check the number 9 (7.5A) fuse located in the driver's side fuse box too.

If that is okay, examine the wires and connector on the brake light failure sensor (located on the left rear of the trunk). While you're at it, check the ground connection (G601) near there too.

 

I will do that first thing in the morning Redbull... thank you so much! Especially for the pic... that really helps.

 

@Redbull... the #9 fuse is good... visually inspected the wires including the ground and I dont see anything wrong... looks like i need to buy a tester???
