Help! Brake lights dont come on.

I already checked all the lights and that isnt it- i checked the fuses
and that isnt it.

So now Im thinking its the Brake light switch?

But i have a question.............what else could it be? Dealer wants
tocharge me $108 to do the work but what if it isnt the problem.

Is there anything else it could be?????

 

It would help to know the age of the car and perhaps model etc.
Regardless, it most likely is the switch, they do fail. Not very hard to
replace, so you could just buy one and do the work yourself.

 

duh! i shld have given that information...


so its a 1995 Honda Civic - automatic...


also my shift lock locks n i have to put my key in in order to get out
of park--- i saw a previous note about someone saying thier shift lock
was broken too and someone replied and asked if thier brakes light
work------ is that related somehow??????????

 

Yes, the shift lock solenoid allows shifting out of park only when the
brake pedal is pressed, as indicated by the brake light switch.

Replacement is not particularly hard. There used to be service manuals
at http://www.hondahookup.com/, don't know if they are still there. Also
look at http://www.honda.co.uk/owner/civicmanual/

 

ok thanks-

so i took it to a place to have a Diagnostic test done- to make sure
it is the brake switch or not a wiring problem.....they shld be able
to figure it out right with that test?
