Default 93 Accord EX - no brake lights

I am at a complete loss with this car I have tried every forum and every possible way to word this for google and I still get nothing helpful that we haven’t already tried so let me start. A few months ago my brake lights stopped lighting up, we have checked ALL fuses, brake light switch, module, the green/yellow/white wires, bulbs, and the sockets for the bulbs. There is no power running from the brake light switch to the brake lights, and the brake light indicator on the dash doesn’t light up to tell me they don’t work and we cannot find what to do next here or what else to check. Is there an in-line fuse in the car that’s not in the manual, if so where can it be located because there is nothing I can find about it

a few of the other problems it has that I’m not sure are related would be: 1. occasionally my cruise control will turn on but 99% of the time it does not work at all. The light on the cruise control button does not come on. 2. A few months ago the Turn signals stopped working for a few days (this happened a few times) would not make any noise or even light up on The dash. 3. Cannot get the car out of park without a key in the shift lock.

Please any advice you have would help, we’re completely lost.

1. Do you have a multi-meter for testing?


2. Also, the brakes light share ground G701. Have you checked the wires going to G701?






3. The brake light failure sensors are also a known weak link.

we checked all of that yes. We actually fixed it now. What happened was we tested the brake light switch and it seemed fine, but then we crossed some wires and found out that the brake light switch was actually bad so we replaced it and it’s all good
