My brake lights aren't working except for the middle one. The bulbs and fuse are fine. I was told it might be the brake lights switch or most probably the relay. Where can I locate the relay?

Err what do you mean by the middle one is working? If your high brake light is working, you got two blown lamps :)

If none of your braking are working, and the lamps are not stuff then it most like the brake switch.

I mean only the brake light in the rear window is working. I checked the light bulbs they are fine

If the window light is working and the 2 body ones are not your switch is fine, there is no relay for the brake lights

You have either a wiring issue or a bulb issue

Also, have you pulled the globes out & hooked them up to a battery to check them or just by looking at them? If you are just going by looks I'd bet it's the globes as a blown globe doesn't have to look blown for it not to work!

Don't mean to hijack the thread but can u get clear/white rear light for Magna or 380? like ones used on current aurion sportivo or camry hybrid.
cos saw current shape non-euro accord with clear/white aftermaket lights yesterday n it looked mad.

I have the same problem. The bulbs light up when I turn the head lights on, but when I pump the brakes only the rear window brake light lights up?

Did ali find a solution?

I have unplugged each connection and re connected them but no luck.
I have also inserted the spare 15A fuse just to be sure.
Is there any other solution?
