Lower brake lights don't work.

[CRGraf]

Have a 1999 exployer...lower brake lights will not work. Changed brake switch, bulbs and fuses are good. What could be the issue? Could the turn signal switch be the problem? I see how to replace that. Is there a turn signal relay....where could I find that.

Welcome to this forum! I've moved your thread into the lighting section. Did you test the hazard lights to see if they work?

You say "lower brake lights" dont work. Do you mean that you have NO brake lights?
Have you tried a test light to see if you have power to the wires that power the brake lights? If you have a trailer light hook-up (usually found under the driverside tail light) there may be a problem (short) in that harness.
You really need a "test light" to see where the power is and where it isn't.

Multifunction switch probably. IIRC the CHMSL doesn't go through the MF switch but of course the stop/turns do. Tilt your column up and down and see if it makes any difference. Historical Explorer problem, the MFS.
