My 1999 Dodge Rams brake lights won't work. I have checked all fuses, bulbs and replaced brake light switch.

Answer 1

you need to do some basic troubleshooting. This will take a voltage meter. I'll assume that your other lights are working fine. If its just one brake light then check the socket for voltage. If it has voltage then its the bulb or the connection to bulb. If it doesn't have voltage, make sure the ground is good (use the voltage meter negative and touch another metal part of the car to use as a substitute ground).

If all the brake lights won't work, some cars have a light failure sensor (I know this is true for Toyota's) that when it fails, creates a failure for all the brake lights. Also, when you checked the fuses, etc. make sure you have voltage at the brake fuse, etc. Its just a matter of working from the front of the truck and making sure you have voltage toward the rear of the truck.

Answer 2

Check to see if the high mounted brake lamp is working (make sure the bulb is good). The high brake lamp is driven directly from the brake switch, while the other two are routed thru the multifunction switch in the column (turn signal/ hazard switch)

Answer 3

looks like regardless of brought about the fuse to blow remains inflicting a concern. i might backpedal from the bulb. If the emergency flasher are lighting fixtures the brake circuit in the bulb then the bulb and wiring are ok. seek for yet another blown fuse. broken twine, undesirable brake easy module (below sprint - actuated with the aid of brake pedal).

Answer 4

Bad ground maybe. Check for power at the bulb sockets--if there's power, then the ground is bad. If not, trace the wiring back for a broken wire.

Answer 5

try pressing the brake

Answer 6

your wires could be rotted
