Is stop light same as brake light?

Where is the fuse on the brake light?

Any problem with the fuse box and light switch will affect the brake lights. In case if the fuse is blown, change it with a new one.

Check for a blown fuse and be careful, as many vehicles have more than one fuse box. The owner’s manual or service data will show fuse box location.

If the flashers work, check for blown fuses as a few vehicles use separate circuits for the lower and third brake lights.
