Default All rear brake lights wont come on.

Like the title states, when depressing my brake pedal my friggin lights wont engage. I've already checked my stop lamp fuse and everything’s solid. My parking lamps are fine as well, now im just lookin around for my brake relay but i cant seem to find it. I'm going to jump back in there and see if I missed something. Any tips would be most appreciated, this is my daily driver, and ide hate to go to nissan for something simple.

Is it just the brake lights that are out or all rear lights (tail, turn signals)?

If the fuse is good, check the switch on the brake pedal assembly. The wiring is pretty simple - battery to fuse, fuse to switch, switch directly to all three brake lights.

I'm going to give the switch a try, the rear lights work (parking, turn reverse). Thanks for the help man, i dont like having my baby out of shape.

Had the same problem which ended up being the brake switch. about 20bucks at autozone and easy to install. look under your dash at the top of the brake pedal, there you'll find the switch. 1. twist, remove 2. disconnect 3. replace with new one. Very easy!

I have a similar problem that just happened today.. ABS TCS SLIP lights are on.. Tail lights dont work and one head light works.. Only one turn signal works.. WTF gives?? Where are these fuses I checked the engine bay and those fuses looked fine.. Is there more fuses by the clutch pedal underneath that panel??

BTW im stuck in INDIANA because of this.. Because I cant drive at night now..
