Brakelights and taillights do not work. Took it to shop and they said it was lamp failure module. Which i replace about a year ago. Lights worked for about a year. Same issue is back again. I replaced all bulbs with correct resistance and that did not fix the issue. So i purchased another lamp failure module. and checked all fuses relate to the brakelights still no brakelights would like to fix the problem my self. any suggestions would be helpful.

check for power to the rear tail lights first. then check for power to the brake lights with the pedal depressed. check the fuses as well.

Are the taillights working now?
Did you test the brake switch and power supply to it?
