Default 99 accord coupe

I have owned this accord for like a year and a half and i love it. I am over 200,000 miles and its still going strong. But my problem is that I have no brake lights, Im kinda at a loss. Fuse, brake light switch are all good. I have parking and turn signals. Not sure what to do.

First check that 12V is present on one of the wires to the brake light switch (wht/yel wire in earlier 1994 models). If yes, proceed to next check.

Next check whether 12V is present at brake light bulb sockets? If you have 12v, the bad bulb or socket.

If you don't have 12V, then a wiring fault (open) exisst somewhere between brake light switch and rear brake light connectors.

Since you have other lights in the trunk, a ground fault is unlikely.

good luck
