Default Brake Light Problem

Hey guys,

First, I already searched for this and found nothing. I own a 2004 Z, and recently noticed that none of my brake lights are working. I already checked the fuse, and it was fine, just to make sure I changed it with the spare fuse, and they are still inoperable. Anyone have any ideas?

After searching a lot more, I'm beginning to think it is the IPDM. The IPDM is just the fuse box by the battery, but I cant seem to find a fuse that correlates to brake lights? Where can I buy a new one?


Thanks.

Ok I made it to the IPDM, That took awhile. Anyways, I found a diagram from another thread but my fuse box doesn't look like it. Does anyone know where I can find a diagram?

Ok I checked all the fuses, all 3 boxes: inside footwell, ipdm, and the other one by the battery. All the fuses are fine. What could be causing this? all three of my brake lights are non operational. Please help!

been having same problem. i noticed while in traffic while looking through my rear view mirror, that my brake lights turn on at times. I'm suspecting a bad brake switch, but before i hand over 64 bucks to the stealership, i want to get some ideas first.
