I have a 1995 honda accord ex. I have to unplug the parking lights from the trunk, and the break lights are not working even when i plug the lights back in. Need to know where to start looking for the problem.

 

1. Check the no. 30 (20A) located in the under-hood fuse/relay box.
2. Check for power at the brake light bulb connectors. If no power, move to next step.
3. Check the ground wire G551, which is located at the left rear of trunk.
4. At the brake light switch, check for 12 volt power at the WHT/YEL wire. Then with the brake pedal depressed, verify power at the GRN/WHT wire which goes to the brake lights.
5. If there is power at the GRN/WHT wire at the brake switch, then the brake switch is functionally properly.
6. Check for power at the GRN/WHT wire to at the Brake Light Failure Sensor, located at the left rear of trunk. If there is power at the GRN/WHT wire; but, no power at the bulb connectors, then the failure sensor may possibly be faulty.
7. Also check the wire connector terminals for corrosion; connectors are firmly attached; wires are good, etc.

 

I also have to connect and disconnect brake light in back window because it stays on as well

 

Just for clarification. Are you saying the high-mount brake light works and stays on; but, the other brake lights do not work?

 

Correct

 

If that is the case, then fuse no. 30 (20A) is probably okay.

Since the high mount brake light stays on, check to see if the pedal stopper pad is still there. If not, there's your problem for the brake light staying on.

Brake lights stay on...how I fixed them - Honda-Tech

Otherwise, the brake light switch may need adjustment or replacement to fix the brake light staying on.

Now we move on to the other brake lights not working:

1. If the brake lights were staying on, did you check the brake light bulbs to see if they are blown?
2. Check for power at the brake light bulb connectors. If no power, move to next step.
3. Check the ground wire G551, which is located at the left rear of trunk. These brake lights use a different ground than the high-mount brake light (the high mount use ground G501, which is under the driver seat and that should be okay since the high mount lights).
4. Check for power at the GRN/WHT wire to at the Brake Light Failure Sensor, located at the left rear of trunk. If there is power at the GRN/WHT wire; but, no power at the bulb connectors, then the failure sensor may possibly be faulty.
5. Also check the wire connector terminals for corrosion; connectors are firmly attached; wires are good, etc.

 

I will let you know tomorrow what happens. Thank you

 

What does a bwd pigtail socket do? Can this go bad and give me the issues with my brake lights?

 

i would like to know why when i press on the gas, that my car will start jumping like a motor cycle or something, and sometimes cut off while sitting at a stop light. it's a 1995 honda accord ex?

 

Did you solve the brake light issue?

I'm not going to get into the "jumpy" as you have another thread on that......
