Brake lights do not work, but they light up
#1
Brake lights do not work after battery drain [RESOLVED]
My grandpa drives a 2004 Honda Accord V6 EX.
After an accidental battery drain, we used jumper cables to bring it back up and running.
(1) But the brake lights do not light up, save the rear windshield and spoiler lights. -- resolved by unplugging & replugging brake light bulbs
If it helps, here are additional issues that arose simultaneously:
(2) Stereo and clock locked up. -- resolved by entering security code
(3) The remote engine starter (third party installation) no longer works.

So...
The center stop light probably uses a different ground than the other brake lights? I'm not sure if the parking light share a ground with the brake lights, but look for an open ground.
Do you get a warning lamp about "brake lights"? If not, then maybe the circuit is open after the point where the center lamp splits off.

The 7th-gen has a lot more stuff done with CAN-bus rather than discreet circuits, but I don't know about the brake lamps. I sold that Helm book after I sold the 03 Accord. But it sure seems worthwhile to check the fuses.

Thank you guys for your help.
And there are no warning lamps for the brake lights.
I'm not an electrician or an expert on circuits, so I'll find a buddy to take a look at this. I'll make an update once something develops.
Again, thank you.
