help please, my brake lights don't work!!

well i bought this 89 civic a few months ago, and i noticed that the brake lights wouldnt work. the third brake light in the window works, but the taillights don't work. when i just turn on my headlights and everything, they come on, but they don't light up when i press on the brake. i already tried to replace the light bulbs, but that didn't work, so i was wondering if anyone out there had any suggestions as to what i can do.

go outside and try to honk your horn, if it doesnt honk then the fuse is blown. Its in the little black box under the hood on the passenger side fenderwell.

i checked and my horn works, but i went ahead and replaced the fuse with a new one anyways, and no differecne. the third brake light in the window is the only one that works

thats odd, probably a cut wire somewhere sence you replaced the bulbs... maby someone else can help more.

yea, i'm thinking you might have a ripped/cut/burnt wire somewhere or something. or maybe ur brake light sensor thing is dead or something.

sensor is good, his third light works

taqke you nut sack and rub it on them, that will work. sorry.

maybe you should check your fuse under the drivers side dash,& see if your taillight fuse is blowed

i hate my taillights...there's an ocean in them

mine were half full of water when I baught my civic, hatch was half full to where the spair goes. Gasket around the tails are all messed up, put some calking around it and it fixed it, going to cut it all up this week anyway and weld some new stuff in :)

Sorry about that post last night, LOL, it was a rough night.

so hes not supposed to taqke his nut sack and rub it all over them?
