How to fix brake lights on Honda Accord?

I have a 4dr 2000 Honda Accord Lx. My brake lights just stopped working a couple days ago, but in contrast, my tail lights still work. I heard that if both your brake lights go out, its not the bulb, but rather a fuse or other electrical problem. Is that true? Any ideas on how to fix this. Thanks please let me know!How to fix brake lights on Honda Accord?it can be but some bulbs whne they burn out place higher 'demend' on the surviving bulb as there is less resistance in the circuit. check the bulbs first as wlel as find the fuse(s).How to fix brake lights on Honda Accord?Simply replace the bulbs before you go chasing any gremlins. (Think of the simplest possibilities first - they're usually the cheapest things to fix - then work your way upward.) In your car, the center bulb is a 7440, and the others are 7443 dual-filament bulbs - very easy to find and inexpensive.



It's certainly possible (if somewhat unlikely) for all three brake light filaments in all three bulbs to have burned out nearly simultaneously. If one goes out, the increased voltage in the circuit will tend to burn the remaining bulbs out much faster.



If that doesn't fix it, here's a quick, easy test that Honda designed into their cars: try honking the horn. If the horn doesn't work, the single fuse that controls the horn and brake lights is blown. Replace it and you should be fine.



Last, it could be the brake light switch. This is a small, spring-loaded switch which turns on the brake lights when you step on the brake. Sometimes they get jostled loose or just fail. Under the dash, look in the driver's footwell for a little switch about halfway up the brake pedal arm with a white button that pops up when you depress the brake pedal. Test that and if bad, replace. $20 part from the dealer. Hope this helps - please get it fixed soon as it is very dangerous to drive without brake lights - not to mention that you could also get an expensive ticket.
