The indicator for brake lamps is on. I have checked the brakes, and when i hit the brakes they work. Why is the indicator illuminateda nd what do i need to check or change out?

Hi ms. jenn,

Are all the brake bulbs illuminated? If any is not working or the bulb rating is not as specified, it can cause the problem.

The other main cause would be the brake bulb failure sensor attached to the taillights.
