Why are the brake lights not working but the tail lights are?

Blown out light bulbs are the most common reason for why the brake lights not working but the tail lights are. Remove the screws from the bulb lens (which you can access through the trunk or see your vehicle repair manual to get the exact location). Push the bulbs and turn them counterclockwise to remove from the socket.

What to do if your brake light is out on one side?

These must normally be replaced as an assembly and are not serviceable. A brake light out on one side only is most often a bulb or socket problem. Try the emergency-flashers and if the lamp still does not light, bulbs or sockets are the very likely cause. Inspect the bulb filament and replace any found bad.

What to do when your third brake light is not working?

When the lower lights do not come on and only the third-brake light works, the brake-light switch may be ruled out. Again try the emergency-flashers to check for wiring, socket and lamp problems. If the flashers work, check for blown fuses as a few vehicles use separate circuits for the lower and third brake lights.

Can a high level brake light be a fail?

As an example, if you had a high level LED light where one single LED lit up then it would be a fail because it’s obviously connected and faulty but, with the same light, if no light at all comes out, they have to assume it’s not connected and would pass (hopefully with an advise).

Why are my rear brake lights not working?

nancy , Do you have rear signal lights? If bulbs, bulb sockets, fuses and brake light switch all appear to be good the fault is probably the turn signal switch.

Is the high level brake light Mot item or not?

Hence my question, they are replacing it next monday, along with rectifying my other gripes, another two of those also being mot items I believe …… the handbrake is effing useless, and they fitted a new battery, but it is the wrong size, and it isn’t held down (the “fitter” left the bolt and holding plate next to the battery).
