Hi all, new to the forum and I have a problem. I have a 2004 Durango and today we noticed that the brake lights are not working. When I turn the headlights on the taillights come on but nothing happens when you press brake pedal. I don't know if it is a fuse because I can't find a diagram for that. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Brake light switch. Its located on the brake pedal arm.

 

I was thinking in that direction just wanted some input before I start pulling stuff apart. Thanks!

 

Well I took the brake light switch off and tested it using an ohmmeter by checking for connectivity between terminals (something I found elsewhere on the internet). Everything checks out doing this so could it be something else? What am I missing? Thanks.

 

Some times they just need to be adjusted.

 

Did you ck the fuse's first? Or the bulbs are burnt out.

 

Also, make sure the sockets are seated properly,

Well it was the bulbs. When i turned on the headlights and I saw the taillights working I figured it was something else. Problem solved, thanks for all the input!

 

Did both of them go out at the same time? If so, this happened in another thread and I would guess that it is very uncommon to happen at the same time......spooooky,
