Did you check for power? Fuse, fuse box, connector at fuse box, connector in black junction box, harness damage, etc. When checking things electrical checking components isn’t always enough. Follow the path and find where the power is cut off.

Subject: Brake lights won't work ...

Hi to all,

I am working on this brake light thing and after checking the switches, and grounds and all, I can’t find what the reason may be why they don’t come on.
I need help.  Who has any idea.
