I have no brake lights I've checked all the fuses that I knew of the under – fuse box and under hood fuse box the fuses are good. But there is no power at the fuse under the dash for the brake lights. The hazard lights also do not work. All bulbs are good, brake switch is brand new. Is there any relays that go to the brakes that I might check? Do you have any other ideas where I should look?

Good afternoon,

I attached the diagram of the lights. We need to do some testing to make sure the voltages are there.

I circled the fuse you need to test and the switch on the brake pedal.

Hello. Sorry, the lateness of my response I've been real busy. It's got a new brake switch in it it's getting power to it but what I failed to mention earlier to was the controls for the driver seat don't work either. My guess is there's a short somewhere because sometimes the breaks in the seat will work and other times it won't. But when the brakes don't work the seat won't work. I tested the fuse the other day under the dash and have power to it but when I checked it right now there's no power to it what should be my next step? I think you again for all of your help.

Okay, I attached the diagram for you of the fuse and it controls a lot.

It is fed by a common buss bar in the fuse block.

The fuse block itself is the issue. There is an internal failure in the fuse box and it must be replaced.
