I'm having problem with my 86 accord dx hatchback. My brake lights and my tails lights stopped working this morning at some point. I do know my turn signals and reverse lights work. I checked all the fuses and replaced them even if they didn't seam bad. My horn does work. I did check the brake light switch and the plunger is fine. I checked the bulbs and found a few that were bad or looked like and replaced those also. Still no lights. Please help.

 

In the under hood fuse box, there is a fuse for the stoplights, is that one of the fuses you replaced?

Do you have a volt meter or test light?

 

Just a stop / horn which is a 20 amp and it got replaced but no test light I'm about to go purchase one real quick.

 

That 20 amp "stop/horn" would be the one.

If you can, cheap volt meters can be had for less than ~$10 and can give better info than a test light and many do other things as well - continuity tests, ect.

So if the fuse is good and has been replaced my next suggestion is to test the brake light switch......this is where the test light/volt meter is needed.
