Brake lights not working

[jpulsifer]

Can anybody help me! I have lost all brake lights on my 98 Explorer sport. Tail lights, blinkers and reverse lights work fine. I have checked the bulbs and fuses and they still are inoperational. Any help would be great!

Welcome to this forum! Check the brake light switch (also known as the stop light switch).

And make sure you TRIPLE check the fuses, cus unless you pull them out individually and look, trust me its easy to miss one, same thing happened to me for a week I didnt have taillights, looked at every fuse, then looked again an hour later and found 2 that popped

thank you brooklyn and brian, it was the stop light switch, a little wiggle and giggle and poof! Brake lights! Thanks again.

Thanks for the update!

what does wiggle/jiggle mean? I'm having the same problem. the brake lights dont turn unless the pedal is to the floor.

It was a bad connection on the brake stop light switch.
