Hey guys! Recently my brake lights stoped working. I checked the fuses and replaced the bulbs anf they still don't work. As anyone ever had this problem before. If so, how did you fix it? Thanks.

Welcome to ClubX!

I'll take a look at the manual tomorrow (later today actually) and see what I can find.

Were the bulbs bad?
Also, when your brake lights are ouy, are your tail lights out too? An your instrument cluster?

No, the bulbs were fine. The tail lights work! Everything works except the brake lights. I'm thinking there might be a short in the wiring? Not familiar with the term instrument cluster? What is that? Thanks.

Instrument custer-guage panel odometer,speedometer,tachometer/fuel,etc.

The reason that I ask is because my tail lights went out and so did my instrument cluster. It is a safety feature. Have you done any electrical modifications to it? Even if that means putting a new bumper on without a spot to mount the side markers.

Hmmmm.... sounds fishy. Have you followed the harness and inspected the wiring from the brake lights back? They might have got pinched. It does sound to me like a ground. The thing is, it is between the amp and the load device. Because of this, I am thinking that it must be a ground. The amp is good so it must be something like this
