The brake lights do not turn on. All three brake lights do not work. Emergency lights and signal lights work only the brake lights do not. I checked the fusses and they are good. The problem is that the fusees are not getting power. What can it be and what do i do?

Hi,

When you checked for power at the fuse, was it the BTSI fuse in the underhood fuse box? I'm asking because that is the main box. If there is no power, I would remove it and inspect the connections to make sure nothing is damaged or even a pin pushed in. If there is no visible damage, there is a chance the fuse box will need to be replaced.

I attached a pic below showing the fuse I'm referring to.

Let me know.

Take care and God bless,

Joe
