Why would one brake light work and not the other?
It’s simple enough to test your brakes. If one or more of your brake lights isn’t working properly, it could mean one of three things: The brake light system fuse is blown, the brake light bulbs are burned out or the brake light wiring switch is broken. All of these issues are easy to troubleshoot.
Does one fuse control both brake lights?
Since the problem is only on one side, you can rule out the fuse and other parts of the circuit that are shared by both bulbs. I would look closely at the connector for the nonfunctional bulb, as it may be damaged or corroded. If the bulb looks OK, you’ll want to test for power and ground at the bulb.
What fuse controls the brake lights?
The stop lamp fuse is in the left kick panel inside the vehicle. It is a 15amp fuse that powers the stop light switch on the brake pedal. The brake light switch sends power to rear brake lights.
Why is my rear brake light not working?

Is the parking brake warning light the same as the brake light?

Why is my brake and turn signal not working?
Believe it or not, you could have a BCM code that is stopping your brake and turn signal lights from working. Most people don’t have access to a scanner that can access the BCM, so you will most likely need to book an appointment with us to do this.
Is it illegal to drive without a brake light?
No. First of all, you will get pulled over and be fined by a police officer since it is definitely illegal to drive without a working brake light. Second of all, other drivers cannot see you very well in the dark. Without brake lights, it is impossible for them to know whether you are stopping or not, so accidents on the road are very likely.
